Summary Writing
While circling the balloon, the pilot saw three men one of whom was holding a pair of binoculars.
When it flew over the station, one of them took photographs.
Then it landed near an airfield, but the police could not arrest anyone because the basket contained two Members of Parliament and the Commanding Officer of the station.
Afterwards the Commanding Officer explained that one half of the station did not know what the other half was doing.
Composition
The men in the basket struggled hard for some time with the balloon. Soon afterwards. the balloon began to descend and it landed near an airport. The three men tried to explain who they were. but they were not believed. Being suspected to be spies, they were finally taken to the police station.
The police questioned the men over again, but they refused to answer any questions. Just then, the Commanding Officer of a Royal Air Force Station telephoned the police station and said that three of their Commanding Officers disappeared. Soon a senior officer arrived. He immediately identified the three Commanding Officers in disguise. The police was greatly surprised at this, and they apologized to them.
