but encountered a snow slope and slid
down three -fifths Of a mile before they
came 10 a stop
Prof. II. E Reid of Johns Hopkins,
Prof. p. A. Coleman Of the University of
Toronto and Prof j. Il. Wolff Of Harvard
were the three other members of the ex-
pedition. They had gone to Mexico TO

but could get no time for sleep. The
barkentine was tossed back and forth
from one wave TO the other. like a chip
on the water; and the ships long boat

tels.
The crew did not fear for their lives be-

the cargo was loosened by the rocking OF
the craft; and the constant shifting

The hurricane continued through the
afternoon, but by nghtfall was somewhat

out; and the next morning the Hart, with
her sails and masts terribly twisted, came
forth into the sunlight once more. The
sailors then made the most of the oppor
tunity TO secure a much needed rest The
rest OF the voyage was pleasant with
plenty OF sunlight, calm sea and favor

COURT D|sM|ssEs
PETITION To
GUST TRUSTEE

Judge Mumford has dismissed without
prejudice the petition of Rose McGinn
that Mary e. McGinn of Pawtucket be
removed as trustee OF the estate Of Pat
rick ]. McGinn
Rose McGiun claimed that her hus-
band, Patrick ]. McGinn, deserted her
and her minor children more than seven
years ago and that he had an interest in
certain real estate.
The superior court on May 27, 1905,
appointed Mary Z. McGinn trustee OF
Patrick's estate and ordered she pay the
income that might be due to Rose Nc
CHM for herself and children.
In a petition recently presented 10 the
superior court Rose McGinn claimed that
the trustee suddenly discovered a need
for extensive repairs on the estate and
though the income was $3.50 she received
nothing. She asked that the trustee be
compelled 10 give an accounting and to
give way TO some more suitable person.
In her answer Mary f. McGnn says
that the income of the estate has been
but 1921 and she has paid out for repairs
s2S7.s9 She denies that the discovery
Of the repairs was sudden or that the
discovery was made TO keep Rose and her
children from getting any money that
might be due them.
Judge Mumford suggests that a bill
instead Of a petition should have been
brought and the parties having treated
the petition as "a bill and the answer de-
nying all the substantive allegations OF
the petition or bill it must be taken as
conclusive.

against her brother Patrick's estate as
