The balloon, after having attained a considerable altitude, reached terra firma in a meadow belonging to a gentleman named Bennett, two miles beyond Epping, on the Newmarket road. Mr. Gypson was accompanied by Mr. Brading, the proprietor of the gardens, and it was almost half-past two yesterday morning before the descent took place. The atmosphere was intensely damp and dense, and on their descending no soul was visible at that early hour in the morning. The succeeded, however, in awakening the landlord of a house some little distance from the spot, by whom they were treated with kindness. Mr. Gypson and his companion reached town about half-past five yesterday morning, and on the whole had a most agreeable trip. [[hand written on bottom ^[[Herald   5 June 1839]]
