HOW HE FOOLED THE PIRATES
With Fresh Water Engine In His Boat,
Owner Was Safe.

why. may I ask, do you have n
fresh water engine in your boat p
aske1 the guest OF the owner of u
motor moat in one of the Long Island
harbors
Just for this reason" replied the
boats skipper. ON two former occa.
slons in this very harbor I've had my
boats stolen and I'm only one OF
many who have suffered the same
loss. During the summer months
there is good deal of tbievlng In tho
harbors and 1t is usually done by mon
who row out In the wee small hours
and simply go aboard an anchored
boat, set her loose from her moorings
and start her off. Now. you see they
must know how to run a motor boat
In order TO do this and most of them
are accustomed to the makes of en-
glnes usually found In salt water.
Hence, though l assure you it's not
nearly so convenient, I've installed a
fresh water engine In my boat and
there are few pirates in this neck OF
wods that know how to run her-and
l have my boat"
