Four Balloonists j Rescued In Ocean i Wild Storm Forced Abandoning Balloort BRIDGETOWN, Barbados (UPD J —The crew of the baloon “Smalt , World” said today a wild tropical storm forced them to deliberately crash land at sea on their attempted 3,000 mile “float” along > Columbus’ route to the New World. The British-manned balloon left Tenerife in the Canary Islands on Dec. 12 en route to the West Indies but they made only 1,200 miles before the storm forced them to jettison the balloon and take their chances in their life-boat-gondola. They were towed ashore Monday by a fisherman who spotted their gondola four miles off the east coast. The three men and a girl aboard had spent 21 days at sea during which they had drifted with the northeast tradewinds almost to their destination. ■■ . "Wondrcfcl " .was. all Rosemary i, Mudie, 30, could say as she raced across Crane Beach here after the landing. Then • Rosemary, hpr husband Colin, 32, Arnold “Bushy” Eiloart, SI, and his son Tim, 21, described their experiences. Whipped Into Updraft “It was. just before midnight on the third night out,” Eiloatt Md I “We were in danger of bCmgl swept up to 20,000 feet. It was becpming uncomfortable, “'Die- radio receiver, sleeping bags and evert the razors had been dumped overboard because of the earlier danger of the balloon falling down. Then came the greater danger. We were whipped into a violent thermal (updraft) and we might have been swept up. Down we had to come." They said they saw only two vessels on their trip across, a submarine and a ship. No one saw them and at one point they were reported to have landed in the jungles of Venezuela. This report turned out to be a hoax. Wants Fresh Water Batch Percy Foster, manager of the hotel at Crane Beach . where they landed, offered , them anything they wanted. Rosemary wanted a bath —a fresh water bath. , They had flying fish for dinner Monday night which delighted Eiloart. . . ‘ “One landed in the gondola, but they would not let me eat it,” he said. The brief and garbled radio messages from the balloon ceased soon after the balloon left the Canaries. Then at Christmas came the Venezuela repeat. Eiloart said their radio failed completely a few days out and they dumped it overboard. But he said they never expected to have to drift the last 1,800 miles -of their trip. The gondola was spotted Monday by the fishing boat New Providence whose captain, Costa Brathwaite, asked them if they wanted to be towed the four miles to the shore. They did. It cost them SSO. .
