Balloon ascension over Lake Erie ends with rescue in Philadelphia
A reported ascent by Mr. Steiner of Philadelphia rose a balloon over Lake Erie and drifted toward Canada before a counter current forced a safe descent. The Mery T Stuart propeller crew aided in rescue, bringing Steiner to Cleveland then Philadelphia. The tale ties into La Salle coal basin discussions and more sensational local notes.
