OLD MUSIC Buck from the misty realms cf time Back from the years agone Faintly we catch the ringing rhyme And hear the melody and chime Of golden songs of strains Like the carol uf birds at dawn And ever we hear them soft and low Harping their music Songs that we loved in the Ions ago Rippling their liquid ebb and flow Drifting their cadence to and fro Line the fall of fairy feet Some faces our heart will ever hold Some smiles we may remember yet here were flowing locis like the sunset s gold here were of Cupid's mould the songs they sang can ne'er grow old For our hearts can ne'er forget Vh

another attempt was made to land but before the balloon one lundredfoet it was driven between Howth and Ireland's Eye It now became evident to me that landing in Ireland was out of the question and that all arrangements must be made to be driven either to Wales or shire The first thing that struck me was to drop tLo grapnel to ita full dred and twenty feet This acted as a guide to the distance the balloon might be above the surface of tho water it being now dark and by placing one hand on the rope tha fect of the grapnel striking the water was dis- felt With an open bag of ballast on my knee every time the grapnel struck the water a couple of of sand were thrown and plan alone I owe my own preservation and success The ballast taken was about thirty-five stone For three hours this
