with contrary winds, high seas and ter
rifle storms, he reluctantly consented to
give up his efforts after n struggle Of
sixty-two days, and returned to Ameri-
ca on a bark which kindly consented to
take him and his sea beaten boat back
70 New York.
The captain Is very interesting char
acter. He is a man of fixed purposes,
very hard to turn from the object which
he has in view. Ho has made the SUBJ.
ject Of small boat sailing such q study
that he is prepared to meet every argu-
ment against the risks which spring to
the minds Of his critics, yet the New
York Herald put the ease in q nutshell
when 1t said: "The fact that Capt. An
drews Gun cross the ocean i'm u cookie
shell merely proves that small boats are
safe when n Capt. Andrews sails them.
Amateurs should remember this when
the wind begins to sing"
The captain himself says that ''half
the people who are drowned lose their
lives because they do not realize that a
boat cannot sink. An iron vessel might,
or a ship loaded with q heavy cargo,
but a row boat, sail boat or ordinary
WOODEN vessel may capsize, but will,
nevertheless, float. The passengers on
the great ocean steamers run some risk
when they go to sea, but all around the
deck they sec wooden boats hung up on
which they are taught to depend for
their lives if the big steamer goes down.
These boats are often crushed against
the great vessel or are capsized in
lowering. l am alone in a wooden boat
entirely under my own control, and, in
my opinion, far safer than Others" An
ingenious theory but hardly a fair one.
Capt. Andrews is by trade n piano
maker. He built the ''Sapolio' ut At
lantic City in the presence Of hundreds
Of people, and exhibited it on the Long
Pier for several weeks. 1t is q canvas

DARING TRAIN ROBBERY.

a Missouri Pacific Express Train Robbed
Almost Withir the corporate Limits of
Kansas City.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept S.-Last even
ing at $3.50 o'clock the Pacifis Express
car on passenger train No. 223 of the
Missouri Pacific railroad which leaves
the Union depot at 9:l0 was robbed Mt
a point between Kansas City and Shelf
field and a large sum of money secured
by the robbers.
The train was a little late and when
1t reached the Kansas City &c South
western junction two men, one about
five feet and sever inches i'm height and
clad in linen duster, boarded the train
and took a seat in the smoking car.
Nothing in their appearances would i'm
dictate that they were train robbers, but
before many minutes had elapsed they
proved themselves such.
The train proceeded on its journey
without any incident until it lad
reached the city limits, when the un-
known men stepped from the smoking
car into the express car. and, concealing
their features, surprised the messenger,
George l.. Mclaughlin, and, covering
liihh Will q oNifisAAiNfto iAe
money was in the car.
The exact amount that was stolen is
not known, but it is known that u con
siderable amount was in the express
box, and it will probably exceed s., 900.
After the road agents had accomplished
their purpose they bound the messenger
hand and foot and placing u gag in his
mouth left the car at Sheffield.
AS the messenger did not open the
, car door at Sheffield, nor at Dodson, ten
miles from Sheffield, as is the usual
custom, something was supposed to be
wrong and q depot official at Dodson
went to the car, and looking into it saw
Mclaughlin bound hand and foo UNI
able to speak. He was released from
| his bonds. and as soon as he could catch
his breath he said that the express safe
had been robbed.
The train was the Wichita passenger
which leaves the Union depot at 0:lO
o'clock and the express messenger
leaves the train at Corfeyville and
another takes his place. Mclaughlin
has been in the employ of the company
for several years and is considered
thoroughly honest and faithful.
When the news of the train robbery
reached the county Jail Deputy Mar
shals r. Freeman and John Emmons
We're sent post haste to the scene of the
robbery.

and dcckcd over with the same. In
order TO fold it there must be three long
canvas hinges from stem to stern, and
the daring Captain writes by an in
coming ship (when he is hundreds Of
miles from shore) that he finds the
"'Sapolio' in u sea-way Is n scrubber
but very lcaky.' No better proof of his
GOODNESS and pluck could be given.
The start was made at 4:3O Wcdnes-
day, July Goth, the destination being
Palos, Spain. Capt. Andrews has in
structions to scour the seas until he
discovers that port and tho starting
point of Columbus. 1t Is believed that,
sailing in q fourteen foot boat without
80 much as n hot cup of coffee to vary
his diet of biscuits andcanncd goods, no
will, single-handed, eclipse the record
OF that Spanish-Italian advcnturer who
almost failed to cross tho great ocean
with three ships, $50 men, after secur-
ing the Queens jewels to pawn and
having the blessing of the Church
thrown in. This Columbus is sailing in
a boat which had never been in water
until the hour when he started on his
1000 mile trip. he has been spoken
In mid-ocean several times, scorning all
assistance and confident of ultimate
success. His effort should interest al
Americans as n test of pluck, endurance
and good seamanship. That it is not q
foolhardy affair is proved by his for
mcr success anil by the notable trip in
which he battled for sixty-two days
without reaching the other side. Thou

vessels, and his landing on the other

public demonstration and rejoicing. As
he sailed from the pier he said, 'Tn

to the last reports he had made better
time than he anticipated. Every day
during the voyage u bottle will be
thrown overheard noting the location
and other information about the trim.

celebrations which will be held in
honor of the discovery of America, he
will then return in one of the great
steamers and arrange to exhibit his
boat and the log which he writes up

cago, where he will be one of tho fea-
lures OF the magnificent display which
