Search FruitIess

Yesterday afternoon. ali last night
with searchlights. and all this morning,
the Onondago has been cruising around
the spot where the frelghter sank, in
the hope of picking up some bOatload
Of survivors, or at least some wreckage
with the name OF the Inflated vessel.
The wireless operator on the Ou0n-
daga frequently reported that thus far
rot the least bit Of wreckage had been
discovered. and he surmIsed that every
thing aboard the stranger must have
been securely fastened down. This
may mean. also, that the crew had
ample warning Of the impending dis
aSter, and went away IN ali the boats.
Men on the Diamond Shoals lightship
saw her sink, stern foremost. early yes
terday morning, while the terrible gale
was AT It's height In two minutes from
the time 1t was noticed that trouble
existed on the steamer, il was all over.
Life boats could not be launched. so

Descriptions or the unknown indicate
that she was probably an American
vessel. She nad houses Oh her deck. her
tunnels were black. and she was bound

COUNT LAMBERT
 MAKES FLIGHT MANEuvERs OVER THE CITY AND THEN CIRCLES EFF
 EEL TOWER.
Declares That He Owes His Success to the United states-Flivht Was
 31 Miles Long.

Paris, Oct 1S.-Count De Lambert, the French aeroplanist, just before dark tonight accomplished one of the most remarkable and daring feats yet credited to heavier-than-air machines. Starting from the Aerodrome at Ju- visy he flew to Paris, distance of about thirteen miles. After maneuv- ering oven the city at an average height of four hundred feet, he as. cended in gradually diminishing cir cles and passed several hundred feet above the Eiffel Tower He then re. turned to Juvisy
 Thousands who watched from tho streets of Paris could bear credit their senses when they saw the aero plane, tiny object, gliding swiftly far above the tower, and the sensa- tion created here by this performance was far more profound than when Santos Dumont circled the structure in his dirigible balloon in 1900.
 Count De Lambert was given Ire. mendous ovation on his return to Ju- visy. Orville Wright, who was there with his sister, rushed forward and wrung the hands of the aviator as he alighted pale but radiant. He was led to the pavilion. where his health was drunk, the crowd meantime cheer. ing lustily and crying Long live Count De Lamberti" Long live Rus. sia!"- Count De Lambert being Of Russina extraction.
 The count held up his hand and shouted.
 Cry, long live the United States, for it is to her that I owe this sue. cess"
 The aviator said that throughout his trip he had entire control of the machine. The only inconvenience he suffered was from the throbbing of the engines. causing difficulty In see ing, towards the end, in the gathering gloom.
 The official time of the flight was 4s minutes 3S seconds. The distance was roughly estimated at 30 kilome. ters t3l miles) and the height varied from 300 to 1,30O feet.
 Count De Lambert and Mir and Miss Wright left the field together in an automobile. Dragons were obliged to clear a way through the crowd, among which there were many en thusiasts who showed desire to car ry the aviator in triumph on their shoulders.
