NEW YORK, November 4.—A check for $1,000 was turned over to the As- sociated Press yesterday to be xiven to the captain and crew of the Dutch oil tanker Barendrecht in token of the gratitude of Wheeling, W. V izens for the rescue of Ruth Eider and George Haldeman, after they were forced down at sea October 13 last, while attempting a non-stop flight from here to Paris. The check was forwarded by the Assoclated Press to the Guaranty Trust Co. of New York, with instruc- tions that the money be sent to Bay- town, Tex., where the Barendrecht is docked. The money was telegraphed immediately in order that it could reach the Barendrecht's crew before they leave port tomorr Behind the tale of the fund lay an incident of Miss Eider ar- riving in Paris “broke.”” The story, as told to the Associated Press today by Harry Reichenbach, New York ad- vertising man, who represents the Wheeling donors of the fund, was that Miss Elder was asked in cable mes- sages from her backers if she had paid the Barendrecht’s crew for their rescue work. The answer came back from Paris th e had been unable sing of the to_do so hecau as “broke.’ | When she was informed that sev-| eral hundred of her Wheeling friends | and admirers had contributed a total | of $1.000, she cabled-the s that $400 of the amount be pi rendrecht’s captai: the husky sailor who had commanded | the life boat that put out to pick her and Haldeman up; and that $500 be divided equally among the other mem- bers of the crew. “The Wheeling people, who are all friends of mine,” explained Reichen- bach, “asked me to get in touch with the Associated Press, inasmuch as Miss Elder had wirelessed you in the first place of her rescue at sea. Also, they had had difficulty in finding out where the Barendrecht was. They thought the vessel was at Galveston, Tex., and they sent telegrams, but re- ceived no answer.
