casting furtive glnnceS mt carriages aS they wheeled

and filled with departieg Calitornians. Close ear.
riages were particularly the objects Of security
aud not a vehicle escaped thcir active vigilance,
bat up to this timo nothing had been heard Of
Archy.
The 0rizaba a. l2i o'clock cast of her moorings,
crowded with passengers, and dropped out into
the stream. Officers Lees and Ellis, and Mr.. ID,
w. Thompson, one of the Deputy S5eriils. being
on board. just before starting, Lees had engaged
o couple OF White Hall boats at the PaciGc wharf
steps, and directed them to make their painters
fast to the stern. We bad forgotten to state that
Mr. Thompson had with him u writ Of attach
ment for Archy, issued by Judge freedom. order
ing him to bring the boy before him forthwith.
Lees and Thorn pson, then meeting, just te.ure
the steamer left the wharf, found that each had q
writ in the matter; that in possession Of the form.

and issued by Justice Austin.
As soon as the steamer was we'll clear Of the

and soon observed II cou pls of individuals in the
bows, one Of whom was waving q handkerchief
tied to Il MdnsoHitO cane. lie drew up towards
them, and heard some remarks which confirmed
him in his 81 spiciJns that they wero III some way
connected with the Archy case. They received,
however, no response so tho signal, and Lees
went aft, but soon after heard the same person say
'rhere they are ~ and turning towards the point
indicated, saw u boat approaching the steamer
from the eastward, in which. ne il drew nearer,
he observed Stovall, whom he knew from II des-
cription which had been given him, and three
others, two of whom were rowing. As they ar'
preached, Lees stationed himself and Sheriff
Thompson quietly a. the port Eangway. and Ellis
at the stsrGJard. This little movement, stimuli
taneouly made, attracted attention. and some one
knowing one Of the officers, it was instantly known.
and several voices shoutcd to StOvall. Keep Of.

boat was already along side, and Lee Observed the
boy crouching in the boat,
A rush was made By some OF Stovail's friends
10 keep the officers back, but Lees sprang down
into the boat at the risk of jumping through her,
and seized Archy by the collar. The steamer
was then in the utmost cuniu>ion; Srlls and cries
arose above the roar Of the ESCAPE. pipe, snn'e APP.
plauding the intrepidity Of the officers, and others
hoOting at the interference with the man aud his
