A few hours later coppery sun
slowly dispersed the morning mists
above the Thames The same sun
warmed the court yards of the London
Jail. which lately had confined John
Law, convicted of the murder of Beau
Wilson, gentleman. 1t was discovered
that the said John Law had, in some
superhuman fashion, climbed the
spiked walls of the inner yard. The
jailer pointed out the very spot where
this act had been done. 1t was not so
plain how he had passed the outer
gates OF the prison, yet those were not
wanting who said that he had over
powered the turnkey at the gate, taken
from him his keys, and so forced his
way out into London city.
Far and wide went forth the procla-
nation of reward for the apprehension
of this escaped convict.
Yet though the authorities of the
law made full search in London, and
indeed in other Of the principal cities
of England, they got no word of the
escaped prisoner.
The clouded dawn which broke over
the Thames below the Pool might have
told it's own story. There sat upon
the deck of the good ship Polly Green

this same John Law. He regarded
idly the busy scenes Of the shipping
