DIR. Hawley Harvey Crippen and

o'clock Sunday morning on the steam.
ship Montrose, two miles oft Father
Point. The arrest was dramatic in a
sense. Scotland Yard Inspector Dew
boarded the Montrose disguised as a
pilot and as Crippen was pacing the
deck with Surgeon Stewart of the
Montrose he saw the pilot boat ap-
preaching pulled by four seamen. He
remarked that there seemed to be a
good many pilots in the boat but aside
from this made no comment. He con-
tinued his promenade but five minutes
after he felt tap on his shoulder and
turned to face Inspector Dew in uni
form.
81 want to see you for a moment" /"
said Dew.
DR.. Crippen took the situation quiet.

protest to a cabin pointed out to him.
In the cabin was Provincial Detectives
Mccarthy and Denis.
This is your man" said Dew to
Mccarthy, and the latter read the war.
rant for Crippens arrest, at the same
time giving him the usual statutory
caution. DR.. Crippen, guarded by the
police, then went to his own cabin
where the Leneve woman sat dressed
as a boy. She screamed when she saw
Dew and then became reticent. Sub
soquently both prisoners were closeted
with Dew.
Aboard the steamer Montrose five
or six miles down the river, nervous
careworn passenger paced the deck
alone. Half rang the bells from
the bridge.
What are we doing now," inquired
the passenger of DR.. Stewart, the
ships surgeon.
This is Father Point, Mr.. Robin
son, and we are slowing up to take
the pilot aboard" replied the medical
man. you car see the boat coming
out to meet us there"
The men in the small boat were
now alongside and rested on their
oars. A rope was thrown to the craft
and it was warped alongside the larg-
er vessel.
A second later on Inspector Dew of
Scotland Yard, dressed in the pilots
uniform, Chief Mccarthy and ex-Chief
Denis likewise attired, with Francois
Gauvreau, the actual pilot. stood on
the deck of the Montrose. Dew's
hand was extended to the captain but
his eye passed on. That's my man" I"
he said quietly but the jubilant thank
full ring in his voice could not be ex-
tinguished. 1t was not hard to see
that he was having difficult time
playing his role of pilot and that he
itched to assert himself as an officer
of the law. Captain Kendall, Nc
Carthy and Dew chatted at the com
panionway. Denis and Gaudreau
turned foreward to the wheelhouse.
DR.. Stewart ard Robinson were walk
ing up the deck. Robinson walked so
close to Dew that the latter could
have touched MIN. Still not move
was made. Dow was sizing up his
quarry carefully, pitlessly. Robinson
ooughed slightly and turned towards
the captain as though to ask ques-
ton. He was perfectly unconscious
OF the true state Of affairs,
Captain" he said almost jovially,
fitting his grey fedora hat to the back
of his head But that was all. His
face became a blank, his knees shook
together and his arms went up as
though to protect himself.
II want to see you below a mo-
ment" said Dew with his character
Istic lisp, Then turning to Chief Mo
Carthy, he said, That's the man."
81 arrest you in the name of the
king" said Mccarthy"
"You are my prisoner. Anything
you say will be taken down in writing
and may be used against you at your
trial."
A few seconds later woman's
shrek told those above that the Lee

arrested. She had recognized Dew In
