Near Brussels on a field converted by heavy rain into a morass, 11 balloons (entries in the James Gordon Bennett cup race) tugged and tore at their moorings, buffeted by a high wind. Weather bureaus warned that the tempest, which was accompanied by lightning, would continue. Officials sought to postpone the competition but found their rules inflexible...
...many "odds and ends" books. We sent up storm signals after reading Don Marquis' "Revolt of the Oyster" and F. P. A.'s "Overset". But he has gone right ahead regardless.

Strangely enough, the Bird was originally drawn by Ink from its neighbor, but that is never admitted--not even by the Ink-Pot, whereupon the cover was clapped on; after a small tempest and flapping of wings, he was released. That is the reason for his present bedraggled condition...
