No employe at the island knows how the man
got away but it is generally believed that some
outside confederate assisted him. The guard

usually strict.
Schauwe should have been deported, accord

rived but he appealed Washington and got
a stay Of deportation pending his appeal Mean
while the Pretoria returned to Hamburg. He
