2,000 FEET UP, GUNNER

THE CHINA MAIL, APRIL 19, 1941

HELD ON TO BALLOON TEETH

(By A London Reporter)

IMAGINE YOURSELF swinging on the guy rope of one of those barrage balloons, 2,000 feet up,'| clawing with hands and feet, even teeth, to grip the! slippery rope, swaying like a great pendulum in the frozen wind. It happened to Gunner Harry Ban- nister Griffiths, and this, in Gunner Griffiths's own words, is what it was like:-

"Ten of us were releasing the moorings of the balloon, but just as I was about to get clear a rope caught round my leg.

The balbop was defling to wards a wall and auther than be dashed again it 1 elung on an an To be bette elem white hacking my foot free

I had heard how people near death see their past life roll be- Tore their eyes but I never be- lieved it. Well. I know now.

"Heaps of incidents from my childhood flashed through my mind. But also saw pictures of things which had never hap- pened. Perhaps it was clair- voyance, or something like that, and they may come true in the

"But I was too busy trying to kid myself I could hang on for hours if need be to think much about clairvoyance at the time.
