feat he would have to contend win lhe
many cross currents and eddes prevailing
near the surface of the land. the area or
jungle and swamp on both sides OF the
canal and the danger that his motor VIII
fail him in the tropical heat.
"No cross country fight that know Oh

plex conditions as would be the case in THIS
instance" said Mr.. Haney. The object IS
to afford information as to the efficiency OF
the aeroplane for the discussion as 10 the

spondence in 35 Years.

Baltimore, Jan. 10-That Amador An
drews, Of Pittsburg, received nearly
100000 for seven letters in thirty-f1ve
years TO his cousin, or about $4,000 a
letter, was one Of the facts developed
here to-day in the trial of the contest
by Kate A. Ranstead, half-sister Of the
testator. and other relatives to break
the Will Of Lyman T. Ranstead.
Mr. Andrews, cousin of the testator,
was named heir TO the bulk Of the es-
tate, and the Ranstead relatives are
seeking TO. break the will on several al
legations. one of which was that the
maker OF the will was OF unsound mind.
Mr. Andrews testified to-day that he
had not seen his Baltimore cousin for
thirty-fve years. In that time, he de-
clares, he wrote TO the Baltimorean
seven times, but received no answer.
This, however, did not interrupt his part
Of the correspondence, and when Lyman
Ranstead died the Pittsburger was sur
prised to learn that he had been re-
warded highly for the letters.

STAND BY THEIR SHIP
Captain and Grew of Schooner on
Barnegat Shoal Refuse to Quit.
fBy Telegraph 10 The Tribune.

Atlantic City. y. j., Jan. lO-While a
ffty-mile gale whipped the ocean into tow
erng seas early this morning the life savers
at the Barnegat and Forked River stations
saw a sullen glare light up the horizon to
the eastward, and a minute later the signal
was repeated. The. crews manned their
power boats at once and made for the iia.-
old b. Cousens, a three-masted schooner.
which lay stranded on Barnegat Shoal, a
mile from Barnegat Light. Her captain, a.
{. Williams, and the crew Of seven sig
nailed that they would stand by the ship.
The Harold b. Cousens sailed from Port
land. Me. and was bound for Washington.
with cargo of plastering laths. Her home
port is ST. John, ~ B. The schooner was
still hard and fast on the shoal late to-
night. and it is feared that she will pound
To- pieces under the heavy sea unless she
Is taken of before tomorrow morning. \
wrecking tug reached here tonight, and
will Try to pun the schooner off.
After the refusal OF the crew 10 leave the
ship the life savers stood by the boat all
night, prepared TO 90 to the rescue OF the
shipwrccked men at moments notice
should she begin TO 90 10 pieces under
the pounding she was receiving.
At high water this morning the crews OF
the Barnegat station. under Captain Thomp-
son; the Forked River station, Captain
Beakman and the Love Ladies statior
Captain Cox, again set out TO the Cousens
bent on towing her off into deep water. Al
though the sea had then camed down, the
power boats tugged In vain to release the
schooner from the clinging sands Of Barne-
gat Shoal. Every sea that broke over her
seemed to wedge the ship deeper in the
sand
