capture, to be delivered to the superinteno-

oner was ordered down into the Venture
gig, and, still in custody of the boatswan,
was rowed up to the academy.
They arrived during one of the recita9o 4
hours and there were few loungers IN slgnt
when they landed; but these few made haste
to draw near as the captive was marched py
on his way to the superintendent's Office
Mcpherson scanned their faces narrowly.
He was grati6ed to discover one of "our fel-
lows' among the number. To this boy, Rob
ert Berkeley, who had felt so sure that all OF
the rnnaways had made good their escape,
Mcpherson made sign by looking back over
his shoulder as he went by. Berkley, in obedi-
encc to the signal set out to follow the ma
rines and their prisoner at a safe distance.
While Mcpherson was detained in the SUI
perintendent's office, Berkley loitered about in
view Of the entrance. When Mcpherson came
out, this time alone the marines having all
been sent back to their vessel, he was chew
ing on one corner of crumpled piece Of. pa
per. This he threw carelessly aside as he
left the building and walked away, in the full
sight of a group of officers, who stood near by,
waiting to enter the office in response to a
summons from the superintendent.
Berkley did not follow Mcpherson, who
walked straight away without looking back.
Instead, Berkley continued to loiter, on the
pretense of having also to report to the su-
