The forced landing, made in a pour- | ing rain just before nightfall, found the plane in a clearing miles from any | town. Natives took the fiyers to a hut which housed eight or 10 people and | turned over to them the guest “beds,” one a 2-foot-wide plank, the other | two narrower planks covered with can- vas. A supper of pig, biue beans and rice and plantain failed to arouse the | appetites of the stranded pair, The | night was spent listening to arguments | cf native guests and fighting field rats which refused to stay in the fields. | The photographing of the boundary, Iccation of which long has been a sub- ject of dispute, required 98 hours and | 25 minutes o complete. | e ‘| | RUM SUSPECT HELD FOR TRIAL BY JURY| Autoist Arrested in Liquor-Laden | Car—Secret Trap Yields } Contraband. | ted in a liquor-laden automobile | assachusetts avenue between Ninth Tenth streets by members of the lice Jiquor squad Friday, Louis C. 22, of the 900 block of I street | under $500 bond on a charge | session of liquor when arraigned in Police Court yesterday. licemen R.
