pleaded sickness and were sent to the
hospital. They We're evidently not very

scouts were sent out in every direction,
and in very short time the rock was en-
tirely surrounded by soldiers. Up to
noon to-day, however, no trace was dis
covered Of the missing men, and it is pre-
sumed that they got OF the island.
Bennett is pretty hard game, but a
daring fellow. This is his second depart
ure from the island while under sentence.
The last time was about year ago, when
he and a companion got down to the
beach early in the morning and stole a
BOAT. They had not got far away when
the alarm was sounded, and soon they
were discovered. The steamer Sonoma,
which was running in the McDowell's
place between the Government stations
on the bay, was just steaming up to the
island. Three men were detailed to GO
after the fugitives, and soon the Sonoma
was steaming down the bay after the
little boat. Bennett and his companion
pulled for their lives, and reached Lime
Point as the steamer got within hailing
distance. They were ordered to surren-
der, but they sprang from the boat and
scrambled up the rocks. Three shots
were fired at them, but they paid no heed
to the flying bullets and continued their
flight, and made good their escape over
the hills. While Bennett was drunk in
sacramento he betrayed his identity, and
was arrested and taken back to Alcatraz.
