Poe's Hold Down That Lid The Magnificent Journey 100 Years Ago Was In Saloons All of us today have a great interest in the race which has sent a man into space. Over 100 years ago the interest in balloon travel excited a similar interest among newspaper readers. On April 23, 1844, readers in New York City were astonished to read in the New York Sun that for the first time in history, eight people had actually crossed the Atlantic Ocean in a three day flight in a free-flying balloon. "Astounding News," a bulletin in the newspapers proclaimed, "by EXPRESS VIA NORFOLK; THE ATLANTIC CROSSED IN THREE DAYS! Signal Triumph cf Mr.

Monck Mason's FLYING Arrival at Sullivan's Island near Charleston, S. of Mr. Mason, Mr. Robert Holland, Mr. Henson, Mr.

Harrison Ainsworth, and four others, in the Steering Balloon "Victoria' -after a passage of Seventy-Five Hours from Land to Land!" One of the passengers on the "Victoria" it said, was the famous novelist, Harrison Ains- worlh who had written in his journal: "God praised! Who shall say that anything is impossible hereafter? The great prob Icm is at last solved! Air as well ay the earth and the ocean have been subdued by science." He added, prophetically, "Air wiil become a common and convenient highway for mankind." The Sun stated that the excil ing account of Ihe journey had just been received from its correspondent in Charleston, a Mr. Forsythe. His account, delivered by express, told of the balloon landing on the coast of South Carolina after a passage of but hours. The lender of the group, Mr. Monck Mason, was well known to many readers of the Sun.

They recalled that once before, on November 7, UKW, Mason had flown his balloon from Vauv hall Gardens in London across ihe English Channel and landed in Germany, after having covered a distance of 500 miles in 1(1 hours. Ill those days, when news traveler! slowly, ivaders expected to wait until further information on such happenings could be received. But when no further information was forthcoming after a rea sonablo period of time, New Yorkers realized sadly that they had been duped. The whole thing after all, had been a hoax; om of Ihe most successful of all jour nalistic hoaxes. Indignant letters poured into the Sun's office.

Other newspa pers, still smarting under the hn rniliation of having been scoopec on the story of the century, re buked the Sun editorially. The editor of the Sun, however, was far from contrite; the newspa per's circulation was still climb ing even after the deception wa: admitted. Soon everyone wanted to knov the name of Ihe writer who hat been behind the deception. Th name of Edgar Allen Poe, poor, obscure young writer, be came the talk of the town.

During his lifetime Poe wrote many stories that excited the vonder and horror of his read- ts. When the "Murders In the Uie Morgue" was published ir. 'ranee, critics of the book were 'onvlnced that the events in the story had actually happened. When his "The Narrative of Ar- Gordon Pym" was publisher. 1 11 England, the readers there were deeply stirred and many were convinced that the events inrrnted in the book had actual- happened, too.

But never again did Edgar Al Poe succeed in creating sucli complete and widespread illusion as that day in 1844 when he sue ceeded in taking in all of New York City with one of the mosl fantastic stories he had ever con cocted.
