Van Orman Lands After 705 Mile Balloon Flight
Van Orman, winner of last year’s balloon race, landed in Hancock village just before 10 p.m. Eastern daylight time after a roughly 700 mile flight from Akron. He faced severe thunderstorms and heavy rain along the Atlantic coast, forcing maneuvering and a cautious descent near shore.

Disputed Ophir Quest Paid By Explorer in Arabia
Commander Craufurd, a retired British naval officer, believes he has identified Ophir in Arabia 400 miles east of Aden after a 15 month voyage seeking the land of Solomon, Sheba, and Hiram. He claims the district still hides mineral wealth and followed ancient ship routes to test the legend. He began as a midshipman and studied China, Africa, and South America before focusing on Ophir after the war.
