Somnambulism.
Provo, Dec. 21.-Charles Thornton, the
young man who was discovered in the
back part of r. A. Barney's clothing
store ct the unreasonable hour of 8
o'clock yesterday morning, would have
il appear that he IS a somnambulist
and has been in the habit of doing
queer things while asleep. At least, he
intimated that his defense against the
charge of burglary which has been in
stituted would be fought on this line.
This morning, however, in his prelim-
mary hearing before Judge A. L. Booth
he gave no testimony. while the prose-
cutting attorney produced evidence that
he was handling goods, as related in
today's Herald and was captured after
q lively chase across the block west

Kirllwood appeared in court with a
badly bruised face, and testified that
he was struck some heavy blows by the

yawl amongst them, nor anything of

Lloyd's list of American yachts-one
center-board schooner. the other a

list ! came upon Siren that had
changed her name to Mirage--a screw
schooner of one hundred and ninety
tons, owned by no less man than the
marquis of Ormonde. On the whole it
seemed pretty clear that neither Lloyd

fast and comfortable cruiser" of
thirty-fve tons.
However. if half the promises of the
advertisement were genuine, the
chance ought not to be lost for lack OF
further inquiry So sat down there
and then and wrote a letter to the
POLITICALLY named Dewy and Moss,
asking some questions in detail about
the boat, and in particular, where she
was to be seen.
The answer came by return of post.
The boat had been laid up since the au-
tumn in sheltered creek of the F.
river. about three-quarters of a mile up
from the harbor side, where Messrs.
Dewy and Moss transacted business.
The keys lay at their Office, and she
could be inspected at any time. Her
sails gear and movable furniture were
stored in roomy loft at the back Of
Messrs. Dewy and Moss own premises.
Their client was lady who wished to
keep her name concealed-at any rate
during the preliminaries; bat they had

to get rid of it at once; but they might
mention that she would not take q
penny less than the quoted price Of

with me in that or any other line of

The card bore witness to the ex-

Messrs. Dewy & Moss had altogether

Mr.. Dewy met me on the landing,

awkwardly upon a wooden chair sew

reviewing the many professional capaci-

IF anyone cares TO buy the yawl
Siren, he may have her for 42O0, or q
trifle less than the worth of her ballast,
as lead goes nowadays. For sufficient
reasons-to be disclosed in the course
of this narrntive-I am unable to give
her builders name, and for reasons
quite as sufficient I must admit the
figures Of her registered tonnage
(295G), cut on the beam Of her forecas-
tie, to be fraud. will be perfect
ly frank: there is q mystery about the
Yacht. But gave a4O0 for her in the
early summer of 1890, and thought her
dirt cheap. She was built under the
old Thames rule" that is, somewhere
between 1878 and 1880, and was, there
fore, long and narrow to begin with.
She has been heightened since. Never
thcless, though nobody could call her
dry boat, she will behave herself
in any ordinary sea, and come about
quicker than most of her type. Shells
fast, has sound timbers and sheathing
that fits her like skin, and her main
mast and bowsprit are particularly fine
spars of Oregon pine; her mizzen doesn't
count for much. Let me add the new
est of patent capstans-I put this into
her myself-cabins paneled in tcak
and pitch pine and cushioned with
crushed red morocco, two suits of sail,
besides big spinnaker that does not
belong to her presenting, serviceable
dinghy-well, you can see for your
selves without my saying more that,
even to break up. she is worth quite
double the money.
In what follows | shall cake leave
here and there to offer a name or sup
press it. With these exceptions you
shall hear precisely how the Siren
came into ray hands.
Early in 1890 | determined-my
health being in rather a poor way-to
take longer holiday than usual and
spend the months of July, August and
September in a cruise about the chan
nell My notion was to cross over to
the French coast, sail down as far as
Cherbourg, recross to Salcombe, and
thence idle westward to Sicily, and
finish up, perhaps. with run over to
Ireland. This, say, was my notion;
you could not call it a plan, for it left

amused me. One fixed intention had,
and one only-to avoid the big regat-
tas Money had to be considered, and
] thought at first of hiring. I wanted
something between twenty-five and
forty tons, small enough to be worked
by myself and crew of three, or at
most three men and boy, and large
enough to keep us occupied while at
sea.
Of course studied the advertisement
columns, and for some time found moth
ing that seemed even likely to suit.
But at last in the Field and in the left
hand bottom corner-where it had been
squeezed by the lists of the usual world
known agencies--I came on the follow

The man stood by her wheel (for

up with tarpaulin. He stood with a

back over his shoulder towards me-a

his features for half minute before I
hailed him.

Getting no answer, pulled the boat
