Weld and Bowditch continue as the number one doubles team, and Wood and Gallwey, a new pair set up because Lemann and Vinton will miss the trip, will play second. The third doubles team is indefinite, with Pratt and Cameron, Langden Smith and Scott Custer, and Dick Chute and Denny Briggs as possibilities...
...speed is arrested by the friction of the air, a small parachute will come out; finally a large chute will deploy and float the man in his capsule. Slowly, he will descend at about 30 ft. per second until he is let down, almost gently, in the Gulf of Mexico. There he will be rescued by a waiting ship of the U.S. Navy and brought back-a hero...

Pilot Smith ejected next, took the same pummeling as his body shot into the steely air, but his chute never opened and he fell, crushed, to the ground.

Fifteen seconds later, when the cone was about 5,000 ft. above the sea, a small explosive charge fired a tight-packed parachute out of a mortar-like container. It was a ribbon chute made of concentric rings of strong fabric 2 in. wide, and at first it was reefed by a band around it to lower the shock of opening. When the falling speed was reduced still more, explosive bolts freed the recovery package, the parachute was unreefed and its powerful drag pulled...
