After Mr. Fisher, Great Britain, M.

Graphic Story of
Ballonists’ Rescue
in the Irish Sea
Liverpool, Sept, 20—(By the Asso
ciated Press)—Bernard Von Hoffman
and J. G. McKibben competitors in
the James Gordon Bennett trophy
balloon race arrived in Liverpool to
night with a thrilling story of how
their balloon, the City of St. Ixtuis
fell into the Irish Sea Monday eve
ning and of their rescue by a passing
vessel.
Von Hoffman was the pilot of the
haloon and Mr. McKibben the passen
ger. They said that at four o’clock
Monday afternoon, they were over the
water within five miles of the Irish
coast, but that owing to the fall of
wind, they were unable to land and
therefore drifted northward with only
four bags of ballast left. An hour
later they sighted two ships but tail
ed to obtain assistance from either
of them.
“Then," said Von Hoffman, “with
only two bags of ballast remaining
we found ourselves in a very serious
predicament. We cut away our. drag
rope in pieces and also disposed of
our spare clothing and instruments.
Then we slowly sank toward the
water. Our case seemed hopeless,
but at 9:4a o'clock in the evening, we
sighted another %essel.
"We immediately „ dropped over
board a Holmes light and seeing it
was our only chance, we bowled the
baloon down to the waves.
“The captain of the ship lowered
a boat, but .when we reached the
sra. McKibben was struck on the
head by n lejid ring and knocked off
the basket and into the. water. ^
"Relieved of this weight the balloon
shot upward like a rocket carrying
fnc with it. I had no opportunity to
rip open the gas envelope and take a
sporting chance.
"1 descended safely into the sea and
was picked up with McKibben.
“Our position when we were picked
up was about lo miles off Bublin

on Irish Sifuation

minister in the Bail Eirreann cab
inet said today in the course of an
interview that the question was
whether the British government was
sincerely seeking peace or merely
Tying to sell Ireland a gold brick.
"The government's reply to Mr. l)e ,
Valera's last letter," lie added, "will
ndicate the answer to the- question.
If it seeks to impose preliminary
conditions to the conference, that
ail ihe conclusive proof of its belief
I ha t it can play on Ireland the con
fidence trick of its predecessors- -

"An Irish representative who i
ivould permit his hands to be tied in
my way by the British cabinet he- |

"Obviously there can be no settle- j
merit unless as an outcome of an 1
infettered conference, anil if the :
British government does not want

whether a settlement should cover'
the great issues of navy and free
rade. Mr. Griffith replied:
“All such issues should ha covered
try treaty.
"If the long conflict is to be end
'd ” he continued, "it must be ended
not temporarily or vaguely, but per
manently and definitely."
