the bay lii the wake OF the Wanderer.
Through his tirchorn the captain of
the New Yorker hailed the Wanderer
and advised series of zigzags rs far
as the channels would permit, the two
boats to work down the bay until
Romer Shoal light was reached. But
the arrival of new ally made 1t UNI
necessary. Soon after the boats left
the Battery the Patrol, the steamer of
the police department, returned from
her raid and, with all the extra force
she could muster, started to help in the
work of rescue. She is n very fast boat,
and she went down under forced
draft and with a long, lean stride that
got her to the Narrows almost rs soon
as the others. She signaled repeatedly
to every boat that doomed up ahead
and at last received an answering whis-
tie from the New Yorker just us that
boat and the Wanderer were about to
divide the uncertainties of the search.
Then commenced q hunt that was
without parallel In the history of the
hnrbor. The three captains headed

ening wedge, with the Wanderer in the
middle, the New Yorker working to-
ward Coney Island and the Patrol veer-
ing toward Sandy Hook. In other
words, the Wanderer made bee line
for Dumb beacon, the Patrol went
down the regular ship channel, and the
New Yorker went out by the east cham
mel. There was signal agreed upon to
be given in case the chase was sighted.
They hailed everything that passed,
because it is SO easy to mistake boat
in the night and because incoming yes
sells might have sighted the Refuge.
But none had recognized the Refuge,

abounded in wordy encounters. In
making squelching rejoinders to i'm.

marked that lifetime had been de-
voted to the dissemination of his single
tax views.

"Aisy enough" volunteered the
Waterman. "They marched down the

They went over to the superintend-

he became convinced that 1t was true
his language was picturesque and his
activity tremendous. He jumped to the
telephone, and he swore long distance
oaths to oil points Of the compass. He
called up the department Of charities,
the fire department and police head
quarters, and he entreated them by oil
political and civic deities to do things.
But he found, with dismay, that the

were at that moment engaged in -hurl-

boat Patrol had gone off on special
raid. AS a last resort he called up the
Wards Island hospital and made him
self personally responsible for the use
of the Wanderer, the steamer which
keeps Wards island in touch with the
mainland.
The Wanderer luckily was lying with
good fires at her New York dock, and
almost before the superintendent
ceased talking she had cast off and
started diagonally across the channel
to Randalrs island. While she was
coming the superintendent called up
the port wardens and learned that the
Refuge had not passed out into the

IL May Have Taken Its Name From o
Mayor of Galway.
About the year. 1900 one James Fitz,
stephens Lynch was mayor of the. town
of Galway, in Ireland. He had sent his
son on a trading expedition to Spain
with q good cargo and large sum Of
money. The young man returned with
q ship load Of valuable commodities,
which he reported as having been pur.
chased with the money and with the
proceeds of the outgoing cargo. After
some time n Spaniard came along, de-
handing payment from the mayor for
the goods he alleged had been bought
on credit by his son. The mayor de-
clined payment, as his son averred he
had paid in cash for the goods. Unfor-
tunately for the latter, sailor who.
had been one of the crew on examina;;s
ton by Mayor Lynch declared that his
unworthy son had spent in reckless
debauchery not only the money intrust-
ed to him, but the proceeds Of the
cargo as we'll; that he had then bought
goods from a large firm on credit, and
that when one of the partners of the
firm came down to the ship before SAIL
ing to receive the money young Lynch
murdered the man and had him thrown

his father.
The young man was Immediately ar
rested and brought before his father,
who, Notwithstanding the fearful en-
treaties Of his wife and daughters, SEN
fenced him to death. He took him up
stairs in his warehouse, adjusted q
rope around his neck, having first Sc
cured 1t inside, and then pushed the
young man out Of the window, where
his dying struggles were witnessed by
the inhabitants Of the town of Galway.
