Terrible Death of a Parachutist
An Awful Jump
Witnessed by Thousands of People
London, August 6. A terrible death has befallen Adelaide Bassett, a parachutist, at Peterborough, in Huntingdonshire.
Coming in contact with a telegraph wire the parachute was injured during the ascent of the balloon. Realising this, Bassett jumped from the balloon when it was about 60 feet from the ground, and falling on her head was killed instantly.
