well, anyhow, when they found out now
twas they were fer murderin' Adolph And
THROWN hts carcass overheard. u ne
wasn't dom any more harm. About that
time one OF the crew finds there's another
UiY aboard the boat. lac r0nts him out
at the back Of the b~oat-er-ho rouos him
out aft-sft- somewhere and there's
shrek and a yell m a splash and overheard
goes pirate number two. F,
BY that time we had about seven officers
there, and l got a couple OF roWboats and
hustled EN- out to M for tho fugitive,
but they can't find him. They hunted
about an hour l should think and then
well, the ~boss7Hf the yacht, I mean the
skipper, when he gets his eyes q and
finds out where that 10 to say, gets his
b~earin's. he sends a rope-et any rate. what
aboard the ferryboat and gets hauled up
TO the pier. Thsh no starts In TO find out
II AdOlph has bl0wOd him up or Scuttled him
First thing he nnds out IA that the ropes
-Or-the hawsers, had been cut-yes, SIR,
sawed right in two. And they couldn't
have been much less than three inches
through. Five OF them there we're. and
Adolph and the other felIer had sawed EN-
in two-did IL with his j~ackknife, Adolph
aid. We got the knife, 30 / guess he told
the truth. IL was only q dinky little pocket
knife like tho kind the manicure girl has to
trim the dudes finger nails.
And hat was all the skipper could dig
ND. There wasn't a scratch on the boat
from 'er stem to 'er stern. he put rope
ladders down her sidos-bo's'n's chairs, you
understand-an' rubbbersd around with
lanterns till morning, but she hadn't even
lost as much paint a. would " your
tiugernail.
sAdolph wouldn't tell much about himself
and be wouldn't tell anything at all o
the other man, except that his name was
Chris"
Patrolman Gallagher was even more
persistent than ~Roundsman Stanton. He
fred question after question at. Adolph.
Generally the genial pirate would content
himself with smiling sweetly and saying
nothing, but once or twice he put one finger
alongside his nose and kept repeating:
40 thew TOOK Adolph I'D to Bellevue and
put him in the psychopathio ward. Only
once on the way up to the hospital did he
break his amiable silence. Then ne burst
into song, %remarking unsteady:
sF0nfzehn manner auf dee kiste elmer
gestorbeDen."
When this was repeated to Dutch Pete
who runs the fires lunch in Reinmunds
saloon in First avenue near Twenty-fourth
street he said that IL meant: Fifteen men
on a dead mans trunk ,
Al Bellevue ORA. Herrick, Gregory and
Cudmore examined the buccaneer last even
ing. They agreed that he was mentally

the kinks in his head would untangle them
selves or not. They will keep him
observation for several days.
Up at 3AS Fast SiXtieth street they have
no doubt about Adolph's condition. Mrs.
Tim Flaherty, who rented him a room at
that address, and Mrs. Goldmann, whose
husband runs a tailor shop there, told a
reporter all about II. They agree that II
was the fear Of being forced to return to
Germany and serve in the army that set

been in this country only eighteen months.
1T was that drove him dotty.' said Mrs.
Flaherty. 1T was 30. Twas me that was
afther telIin' him time an time again that
they couldn't drive him back to Germany,
but he was always sayin' that his ant was
1xed on dom il. An twas no more than
lasht "wednesday night he was declarin'
that he'd joomp overboOrd an drown his
self rather dan go back to tn ould country.
An dot pair uf Sunday pants he left
NIT me-" put in Mrs. Goldman. Der
note it sails: Tailor hK me der pants oop
for Sunday Will | press me der pants

Well resumed Mrs Flaherty, twas
a week ago, an before the drink he was az
foine a lad as liver l see. Nanny a time he
set with me an played casino in me back
room, but the dhrink-
"Craz-ee-crazee, put in Mrs. Goldman
Every time dot you sails drink 1t ISIS
Lcrazee should be it,
Besides furnishing the talk Of the river
front and East ixtieth street, the adventure
OF the pirates had the police lawyers going.
Patrolman Gallagher started Il.
Say, sergeant he inquired, what are
We Roin' q do wild the yatchet2"
dor" said Sergt. Fitzpatrick. What
should you do with herr She's all right
now"
but amt she under the head Of lost
property found7" demanded Gallagher.
-H'm-well-" said the puzzled sergeant,
scratching his head.
-And hadn' z she ought TO be turned over
TO the lost property clerk at Headquarters
hey?"
The sergeant grinned.
-All right, +" said he. you've got a great
head, Gallagher. Certainly she'd ought 10
be turned over to the lost property clerk.
You Just 20 ahead and do it."
III CHER departed hastily.
The part Of the police in this adventure
has been shown. Now for the tide. Had
il been food tide instead Of ebb the Elsa IL

and swung in among a group OF costly steam
yachts that included ]. Pierpont Morgan's
Corsair. Howard Gould's Niagara, H.. II
Rogers's Kanawha and several others only
less valuable.
