The balloonist had sent to Pratonia for his clothing and other baggage and was now installed in the Swift home, where he was invited to stay a week or two. One night when he was looking over some papers he had taken from his trunk the balloonist came over to where Tom was making a drawing of a new machine he was planning and said: "Like to see my idea for an airship? Different from some.
"Wish I could help you catch the scoundrels, but afraid I can't hands too sore," and he looked at his burns. Then he told how he had made the ascension from the Pratonia fair grounds and how, when he was high in the air, he had discovered that the balloon was on fire. He described his sensations and told how he thought his time had surely come.
"We are not far from Shopton, and if you would like to remain over night I'm sure we would make you comfortable. You can proceed to Pratonia in the morning." "Thanks. Might not be a bad idea," said Mr. Sharp. "I'm obliged to you. I've got to go there to collect my money, though I suppose they won't give it all to me." "Why not?" demanded Ned. "Didn't drop from my parachute. Couldn't.
You need some other clothes," for the man wore a suit of tights and spangles. "Oh, I'm used to this," went on the performer. "I frequently have to fall in the water. I always carry a little money with me so as to get back to the place where I started from. By the way, where am I?" "Opposite Daleton," answered Tom. "Where did you go up from?" "Pratonia. Big fair there. I was one of the features."
