When the ship was a little more than half way out, the wind caught it with full force and carried it over to the west side of the entrance of fhe hangar. The wind let the big bag go and it dropped, the bottom of the car scraping the floor. Another puff of wind caught and I decided to jump.

I saw the big ship rent and heard the hissing of gas. There must have been another rent in the bag, for the force of the escaping gas threw me violently to the floor. Then came the explosion. I was knocked down by some one runntng. The big bag was a mass of flames.

London, Oct. 17 (By the Associated Press). The meeting of unionists called for Thursday at the Carleton club will be of great importance, and is almost certain to bring the political crisis to a head.

Until its decision, whether to break up the coalition or stand by Prime Minister Lloyd George, is known, the situation is not expected to develop materially in any direction. The attendance at the meeting is to be confined to the unionist members of the house of commons and the unionist peers, who are members of the govern ment. Thus it will not be representative of the entire party. Accordingly, it is declared, Mr. Cham berlain is not answerable to the party as a whole and only feels called upon to explain or defend his declared faith in the premier to the commoners and bis ministerial colleagues.

Speculation is busy as to what will follow the meeting's decision, which ever way it goes. Some observers suppose that, if Mr. Chamberlain gets his vote of confidence, Lloyd George will take advantage of this encouragement to dissolve Parliament and arrange an immediate election. Whatever happens acceptance of the cleavage in the unionist party is foreseen, leading, perhaps to the formation of a new party consisting of the supporters of the coalition In both of the present parties.
