is not desired before a port IS reached
az which he can land.
Kessler has been an unwelcOme in
cubUs on the Kentmere for about four
months and is anxious 10 get ashore
here. He says he has relatives in Brook
lyn. The statements Of Kessler concern
Ing his status as an honest man differ
from those Of Captain BuTch and Chief
officer GOudy OF the KentE2ere. They
assert that he served eleven years IN
prison for burglary at Lorenzo Marquee,
Portuguese East Africa. Ksssler says
he is a respectable ranch owner. VIC

term in jail was five months.
Posed as a SaiIeF.
He went aboard the Kentmere IN Del
agoa bay last July. with a letter from
the German consul. asking the captain
TO take him TO East London, Cape Col
Ony, as a member Of the crew. Captain
bNTcn was snort ua4iueu. anu as F~sssleE
said he had been IN the German navy,
he was accepted.
Kessler's story OF what happened TO
him at Cape Colony Is contradictory. but
he was not allowed TO land. He threat
ened 20 burn the Kentmere with all on
board, Il is said. and Captain BuTch
tried hard 70 get rid OF him, but every
time Kessler went ashore, policemen
took him back TO the ship in irons.

Captain Burch refused to let him
work because KessIer threatened TO hold
him for wages.

The long hall was prettily and unique ly decorated with trees, vines and moss and the entire place presented a very pleasing picture. The trees were light ed by numerous Japanese lanterns. The ladies wore white shirt waist suits and the men wore seaside costumes. About Il o'clock a typical basket picnic lunch was served beneath the trees and many delicacies were enjoyed. The occasion ended with a hop. when about twenty five couples indulged in dancing. This was one of the most charming and en- joyable affairs ever given by this club and will long be remembered by the fortunate guests.
