		He was unsuccessful, however, in changing his course toward the seaboard, and, discharging nearly all his ballast, he again ascended with the determination, if possible, to reach the great upper current.
		His balloon was not suitable for a long voyage, nor was it possible to make one, except under a combination of the most favorable circumstances, and of the 234 ascensions embraced within his aeronautic career, we doubt if he was ever so completely the sport of the winds as on yesterday.
