sailor from the steam yacht Puzzle. while
roaming about the city Saturday night was
arrested by Officer Lswler for using pro-

his hands down into Craig's pocket, and the

Orlando Record: One evening last week
certain young gentleman of this city, in
company with couple of young ladies,
wentout for an evenings call. On the return
trip the party met with most thrilling adj
venture, and narrowly escaped what at one
time seemed to be most certain and horrI-
BILE death. lt seems that they had gone
across lake in row boat and when the
time came for their departure a heavy fog
had settled down, and it was impossible to
see much further than the length of the
boat. Not having made calculations on
the dense mist, they had failed to take a
compass with them, consequently they had
set their course by guess work. After hav-
ing rowed for some time it seemed as though
they must certainly have reached their
landing place. One of the young ladies
glanced behind her and beheld, to her ex-
IRENE terror, only short distance from the
stern, and looming up in the musty dark
ness. the head OF what appeared TO be a
huge alligator, and making directly for the
boat She jumped up in alright, and
called loudly for the young man to save
their lives, while the other young lady,
paralyzed with fear, sat as if
frozen to the seat, not knowing
at what minute her last hour would come.
The young man. with an oar In one hand
and revolver in the other, stepped to the
stern of the boat with the firm determine
ton OF making most gallant fight in the
protection OF the lives OF his fair passing
ers, but 10, just as he was about to COM
mence the attack it was discovered that in
stead Of a dreaded monster of the deep to
contend with, it was simply the faithful pet
dog of one of the young ladies, who hay
ing heard the boat approaching, swan out
to bid them welcome home.
