THIS TAR MET TWO TARTARS.
A Disabled Seaman'S Yarn Of a Tor

Jury Rugged by an Ambulance Sur
Geon, He Seeks His AssniIants.

A man-o-warsman with sheets dipping In
flowing sea hove alongside the Pulitzer
Building just after eight bells In this morn
ing's watch. After running alort eleven
stories he threw n line to THE EvINrSG
WORLD editorial rooms and asked to be taken
aboard.
The cabin boy conveyed his message to the
oftcer OF the deck, and Ernest Englebrecht,
disabled seaman OF the United States train
ing-ship Minnesota, his tarry toplights In
mourning, his head covered with bandages
and his heart full OF grievance, presented his
round robin to the Grievance Editor.
Ernests appearance when he was sighted
in the OfIing was not near so beautiful as the
procession OF the White Squadron up the bay
the other day. He had undoubtedly been up
the bay, also over the bay, and his tale Ot
having fallen In with an cast-side tornado In
the shape or two New York policemen, whose
night sticks had beat the call to quarters on
his befuddled Uranium, was easily believed.
The Minnesota lies of the foot OF Fiftieth
street In the North River, and Ernest had
been having all the fun possible In tho two or
three days shOre-leave that he obtained.
Naturally he took in " Cherry and James"
streets.
ought TO be other places for sailors TO enjoy
themselves than on Cherry, James, Water,
South and West streets and the BOwery.
But apparently there are not.
1t is matter OF general notorety that the
real genuine "Sailors' Retreat" Sailors

mems Delight" THE Cat-o'-Nine--Tals. "
Beacon Light" and hundreds OF other we'll
known nautical resorts, to say nothing OF the
Tub OF Blood" The Tin Horn,"" The Hub
OF He'll" and similar cafes, are to be found
only on the streets named or in their imme-
diate vicinity.
Hence 1t was that Ernest, after night Of
unalloyed Jollity, found himself at two bells
Yesterday morning watch, quietly sitting ON
the stoop OF saloon at James and Cherry
streets, rejecting on the delights and deu-
sions OF the Fourth Ward.
His dreams were rudely dispelled by two
unfpcling" CODperS.' who proceeded to =" fan -
the soles OF Ernests feet and requested him
to move on"
Ernest moved on about a block. and, miss
ing stays, again sat down to reflect when, he
says, he saw the two "Coppers" aCCOst two
young women and enter saloon with them.
Horrined at the spectacle OF New York
policeman shaking, hands, as it were, with
Questionable practices, Ernest approached
the ofiicers as they came out Of the saloon
and kindly but firmly demonstrated with
them for such unbecoming conduct.
"R r rub = a dub dub! Bin! Bang
Ernest had not expected so vigorous and a..
rect reply. The brilliant display or stars
was greater than he had ever seen before
even In the Arctic, and he was aStOnshcd at
the effectiveness OF the policemen's night
sticks.
Then the policemen bore off. Ernest took O
tack across the Bowery and brought up win
a good full at the Mulberry street police sta
tion, where his wounds were dressed and q
hole In his head Jury rigged. He asked for
satisfaction, and was told to call at the Oak
street station.
Capt. O'ConnOr trotted out his men for IN
spection at roll-Call last night, but oil reCOl.
lection OF the appearance OF his assailants
had been dubbed out OF the sailors head and
he was unable to Identity them.
Now, like Billy Patterson OF sainted mem
ory, he wants to know who struck him
