We consider that the cosmic γ-ray burst of 1979 March 5 may have originated in a binary system containing a neutron star. If the stellar wind from the companion star is suddenly increased for some reason, a great quantity of plasma will pile up at the magnetopause of the neutron star, forming a high density accreting ring. When the mass of the plasma exceeds a critical value, the Krukal-Schwarzschild instability will set in and the plasma will pour into the magnetosphere. When the plasma reaches the surface of the star at the magnetic poles γ-ray and hard x-ray bursts will occur. Results obtained in this paper agree roughly with the physical constraints of the model given in /1/.
