They rowed up with all their might, but it was im- possible for them, to draw close without being themselves swamped, as the balloon was every moment being caught up by the wind, only to drop heavily on the water a few yards further away. The only chance of safety for the aero-,, nauts was to attempt to reach the boat by. swimming.
