ship, the police say, was seen by
scores of persons on the shore and
from windows in number of houses.
The vessel dropped anchor less than
half mile out in the lake and its
sailors clambered over the sides into
a yawl and were rowed to the small
building of the yacht club. Carrying
rifles and other weapons, the invaders
gave chase to those sitting on the pi-
azzas of the building and pursued them
for some distance. Blows were ex-
changed and a hand-to-hand struggle
was engaged in, but the persons in
the small party at the boat housS were
routed and they telephoned to the po-
lice.
AS the first of the policemen appear,

their yawl was, rowed back to their
yacht and sailed away.
The police believe that the pirates
are youthful burglars who live in the
districts of South Hyde park, and who
have long been wanted for a series of
