As it neared Lake Ontario the balloon encountered a hurricane, lost its ascending power, and rapidly sank toward the water. The provisions and some of the passengers’ clothing were tossed overboard. The balloon finally reached the shore, having traveled for 80 kilometers Just above the surface of the water. Here they were dragged over trees, bills and rocks, their lives endangered every moment.
