Show rleaaures of a Parachutist. The lady parachutist who was nearly irowned at the Welsh Harp, Herndon, has secured her advertisement, though the must have grudged the price she had to pay for it. That price was to lie for some moments, that must have counted as hours, helpless under the waters of tho lake, while the machine to which she was fastened floated outspread on the surface, without a movement to show what was passing beneath. The balloon had disappeared in the mist, and the parachute with it, till the latter came fluttering down in the wrong place, with the lady attached. She was dragged out insensible, but she is alive to tell the tale of her gruesome adventure, and no doubt to risk a repetition of it in subsequent descents. London News. |
