ashore.
Officer Flint, who saw the whole oc-
currence, had the following to say Of
the matter:
"As you know, Donnelley had been
arrested on the charge of desertion
and, from the time he was taken
aboard until the Dabcock cast off her
lines this morning, a most vigilant
watch over the fellow was kept.
when the Babcock went out this
morning, Turk & Lewis and two or
three captains were aboard and they
had their eyes on Donnelley. At the
proper moment the fellow slid over the
side and dropped into the water, not
making as much of a splash as nickel
dropped in the water, would make.
mo one aboard saw him. I was on
the Inter-Island wharf at the time and,
as soon as / saw the man slide down,
fastened to the Pacific Mail wharf, for
which he was making There wasn't
a sign of the man."
Donnelley boosted that he would new
