left the city on the following Monday,
and that the efforts put forth the paa
week by the entire force had been for
naught. The manner Of escape was as
follows:
When he broke away from the officer at
the Agassiz mansion he made his way,
under semi i-darkness TO Bateman's Beach
where are two large iron water tanks, but
which at this season OF the year are empty.
Into one of these Mr.. Burglar took refuge.
All day Sunday he kept "a watch on the
sea and several times during the day and
Monday was seen peeping over the edge OF
the tank by the sister Of Keeper Parmele
OF Castle Hill Light. On Monday
cat, boat was seen of the
ran in to the shore. A signal was given
by the skipper, Mr.. Burglar left his hid
ing place and was soon on his way to
parts unknown.
The story has created much excitement
and is causing as much talk as he escape
of the man from the police.
