Summary

Front page of British illustrated newspaper shows two stories. Above, a man and woman (possibly balloonist Jules Duruof and his wife) cling to a balloon basket in a stormy sea, with rescue boat approaching. Below, five vignettes, each separately captioned, depict a mother's strangulation by her adult children.
