INcENDlARY AT WORK.
Attempt to Destroy the New Cup De-
fender.

Bristol, r. L.. April l1.-lndications
that twice during the past week at
tempts have been made to burn the
Herreshoff boat shops and the new cup
defender Reliance have just come to
light. The matter was not reported to
the police, but extra precautions have
been taken to guard the property. Two
years ago an attempt was made TO
burn the boat shops and the cup de
fender which was being built and the
would-be incendiary was captured and
subsequently was declared to- be IN
sane. 1t is thought that the present
attempts have been due to a similar
cause.
Apparently every effort has been
made to keep the facts from becoming
public. 1t appears. however, that last
Monday evening the watchman at the
Herreshoff works found some grease
saturated garments piled near the
staging about the Reliance and on tor
of the pile was a lighted candle, whlcf
had burned to within an inch OF the
refuse The watchman acted quick!
and prevented fire.
Steps We're taken to guard agalns
recurrence of such an experience. bu
on Tuesday night another pile o
refuse was found near the boat. n
attempt had been made to fire 1t. IN
workmen are of the opinion that tn
second instance at least was only
matter of carelessness on the part @
some one about the shop.
