Kansas Balloonists Fall Into Lake During Storm
The 1900s balloonists Captain Carl W. Dammann and Edward J. Verheydan reported a descent from 15,000 feet into a storm cloud over Lake Huron. Their craft was leaking as they suspended near Cape Hurd, Cape Hui, and the Wichita en route to St. Louis. They survived by drifting, reaching a hunter’s cabin, building a fire, drying clothes, and eventually attempting to signal for help before returning to St. Louis.
