BALLOON’S ADVENTURE.
NORTH SEA TRIP. Received September 25, 10.25 a.m. LONDON, Sept. 24. A German balloon, which was one of six participating in a long-distance flight, left Dusseldorf at 5 o’clock on Saturday evening and drifted over the North Sea, where the gas bag was punctured. The three occupants threw overboard movable, but struck water at Berwick at noon and were' dragged to the beach in a heavy wind. Despite thirty spectators seizing the drag rope, the balloon hit the sea wall and Dr. Dieckmann, a veteran balloonist who has made 130 trips, was injured.
