THE WELL MAN EXPEDITION.
ANOTHER ACCIDENT.
Received August 23, 8.30 a.m. LONDON, August 22,
The start of Mr Walter Wellman's projected balloon voyage from Spitzbergen to the Norh Pole has been again attended by ill-luck. After quitting: Spitzbergen, the hose-shaped bag containing provisions attached to the balloon guide-rope and used as an equihbrer, burst, and compelled the expedition to return. The attempt to reach the Pole will be relinquished for the present year, as the balloon is also seriously damaged. Only thirty-two miles had been covered when the accident happened.
