As the balloon sailed high above the clouds, James Glaisher fainted from lack of oxygen. Unable to manipulate his numbed fingers, Henry Coxwell managed to pull the valve-cord with his teeth - and the balloon began to descend.

From a feature on the history of meteorology published in Look and Learn 968, 27th September 1980.
