Presence of Mind in Balloon Escape by Professor Wind
Professor Hi Wind narrates a near disaster from a balloon ascent near Indiana. He uses a rope and his clasp knife to suspend himself from the balloon, planning a controlled fall to avoid a crash. He drops about 25 feet and lands on a straw stack while the balloon drains into a pond, praising presence of mind as lifesaving. The piece ends with a public offer from the Daily Iowa Capital for a two dollar year subscription.
