Alleged Balloon Accident at Gatton and Reigate
A balloon descent from the Yorkshire Stingo Gardens near Reigate ends disastrously as a wind gust drives it over Reigate Hill. Mr and Mrs Graham fall forty to fifty feet onto a sloping bank, rescued by onlookers. Mrs Graham suffers a head wound and a severe ankle sprain while Mr Graham is less injured. Warwick, the other passenger, escapes unharmed. The balloon is secured for compensation, then later delivered after Crunden’s barn holds it for the night. Mrs Graham later disputes a brutal wind severity in a letter to London.
