OUTRAGE ON THE 13ALLOON GAS-BAG DAMAGED BY A STONE ON THE MOORS. Just as Mr. Willows was returning to his shed at the East Moors on Friday evening with his airship, one of his mechanics heard a sharp "ping," and it was then found that ga-ø was leaking from the balloon in an un- accountable fashion. Closer examin-ataou revealed the faot tha.t there was a big leakage about 4ft. from the nose of the balloon, and then came the amazing discovery that there was a sharp. I fiat stone, about liin. in length, lying inside. As soon as the damage was discovered Mr. Willows endeavoured, without delay, to patch up the rip in the envelope in order to prevent all the gas escaping, a.nd his mechanic had to be re-oailed from Clevedon to assi-rt in the work. The stone tha.t pi.arood the canvas was to be plainly eeen inside the balloon through the observation ring. In an interview on Saturday Mr. Willows stated that this was the second happening of the kind within a short period, as no fewer than four small punctures were discovered in the balloon a fortnight ago. At that time there was no thought of the misohief having been done by human hands. It certainly locks," said the young avia-for, as though someone bore me a grudge. We had to stay up very late last night to repair it, and I have to make more gas to-day for my trip fo London. I was about to take the airship in, as I had broken a. shaft a couple of days ago. and I wa-s trying a new one by low flights. If I had started out again on the trip to London I might have found myself in the Channel."
