Navy is no longer an object Of alteration and
pride. Folks who wish to remain the friends OF

men were told to take them back to the Yankee
and claim the reward OF $40 each that had been
offered for them.
The rest has not been told. When Doyle
caught his fireman he was fain to regard the
rowing sailor as q man dying from thirst in the
desert regards q newly discovered oasis. Doyle
had only 35 cents in his pocket; pay day was
distressingly far away. When the prisoner was
being locked up he said something about being
hungry.
Hungry Hungry Why, my boy. what do
you want to eat ?" inquired Doyle with great
heartiness.
Nothing much" said the fireman. Some
coffee and beef-and wouldn't be bad"
Doyle hurried way to the nearest hash house
and expended 10 cents out OF his 35 on the re-
quired food. which he solicitously luRged back
to the prison and handed in to the fireman. In
the morning. after the police court proceedings
were over. Jones and Doyle met to take their
prizes to the navy yard together. The adver-
enc for the capture Of the DESERVING crew
said that the sailors should be returned to the
Brooklyn Navy Yard. The advertisement was
signed by the quartermaster Of the Yankee.

and at their watches.
To reach the Charles street station they must
start at once. The grim tribunal that sits on

could visit the Yankee on the morrow. That
