here and diving there, but he was ov-
ertaken and brought on board. The
guards, as we'll as the prisoners, gave
one wild huzza for the daring of this
fearless criminal. He was again put
in chains, and thrown into a cell.
At the Dry Tortugas, he was con-
stantly shackled to a fellow convict.
Some years afterwards, while a visi-
tor was being shown over the house
of, the convicts, and being struck by
the bearing and intelligent features OF
q prisoner chained to another, stopp-
ed to look at him. He asked, "Who
was this fine looking man wearing a
cap. Is he an ordinary crlmlnals"
s'No that is the most desperate Grim
inal on the content, that is st. Le-
ger Grenfel, friend and associate Of
Forrest, a veteran Of two wars. We
have to be very careful about him, as
he swears he Will die, rather than a
prisoner.
Some time afterward, this same Wis
itor read in New York paper of a
desperate attempt at escape. That
on a dark and stormy night while St.
Leger and his prison mate were out
gathering drift wood for fuel, he
struck his; icomrade crushing blow
on the head and flied apart the chains
that held them together. These two
had stolen a boat, had it concealed in
the bushes, awaiting just such a night.
It seems as il the comrade relented of
the hopeless undertaking at the last
moment, then it was that St. Leger
struck him. He did not kill him as was
first reported, only stunned. The
signal guns were fired, the bells rang,
boats were chasing everywhere for the
fugitive, but all that was ever known
was a missing boat, and a badly
wounded prisoner. The wind was
blowing gale offshore, and no trace
of either Grenfel, the oars or boat
was ever found. Whether he was
picked up by passing ship, or lost
in the sea, will never be known. 1t
was not impossible for him to be res
cued. stranger things have happened.
