the Second District, on Tuesday night. The crowd
consisted of two steamboat captains, steamboat
clerk, and steamboat mate They cruised around
till one Of the captains getting beasty drunk fell
behind and got lost. The police found him, and car.
ried him to the lookup. An hour 80 sfterward the
others, who were likewise sufficiently jolly discovered
that one of their crowd was missing and, with what
little sobriey they had left took the backtrack to
search for him.
They accosted the different Watchmen they met,
with their inquiries after the lost captain but without
success. Finally they met Waterman who thought
they were rather noisy, and did not answer them
cvly To the inquiry Of one to the time of night
the eatherhead replied very grnfiy, Its none of
your business!" One Of the crowd, stepping up to
him, asked him. as seriously he could, if he really
meant to say it was none Of their business what the
hour of the night was The leatherhead responded,
with increased emphasis that it was none of their
id business. The boatman then fumbled in one of
his pockets, saying Come out snake ~ and pulling
something out, exclaimed " Bite him p As he said
this, an automaton or toy snake sprang out at the
Waterman The latter leaped into the street as if he
had been shot at and sprang his rattle, In minute
there was gathering Of the leatherheads, and the
jolly boatmen all bundled off to the caIaboose
