AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A scientific association member in London hears a lecture from an intrepid army captain on his balloon journey to the Orkneys. He has a drink with the lecturer and they embark on a flight to France in the morning - concluding with his ejection from the balloon to lighten the ballast. It is of course a dream! Oddly airy humour; low-key. (Linguistic suggestions of a sexual attraction between the men.) (PB)
