sensational story about the imperial
yacht Sandart, which was being got
ready on Monday with feverish haste
The repairs We're drawing to salts
factory end when miniature boat
was seen Swimming along the surface
of the Neva towards the Cars yacht.
The boat, which carried two persons
glided towards the stern, and the two
occupants endeavored to board the I'M
peral vessel unobserved. but the sem
tinel espied the intruders and gave the
alarm. A boat was lowered. and COM
ing from the opposite side of the yacht,
surprised the enterprising visitors,
who were in the midst of their mys-
terious manouvres. The occupants
were arrested, landed and conveyed to
the detective office. where they were
searched. but nothing of criminal
nature was discovered on their persons
or in the boat.
One of the captives is a boy Of sew
enteen, and the other is only four
ment.
In consequence of this incident, and
the scare it occasioned on board, the
sailing of the imperial yacht was kept
back one day.
The newspaper publishing this story
says that the Gear was the first one to
give the alarm of the approaching
boat, and when it hove to the side OF
the yacht he became scared and almost
screamed to the officers of the vessel
to check the progress of the oncoming
boat
1t is said that he roundly censured
the officers of the yacht for their fall

from greater distance. and followed
this up the next day by transferring
