The man had lied to him in London
by fleeing the.city with the mystery
Of Belle E1more's disappearance un-
solved. and . strong personal feeling
entered into the case, accentuating the
detectives desire to carry out the task
assigned to him by Scotland Yard.
AT 1880 q. M. the approaching ships
whistle was heard above the below
ing Of the Father Point fog horn. Like
giant alarm clock it awakened the
nervous villagers and the expectant
men who dressed hurriedly
and waited in a drizzlins rain for the
.linAr's arrival
Shortly after 7:30 o'clock the Mon
'trose pushed her nose thru the fog and
at s:15 the pilot boat Eureka set out
from shore. She carried a host Of
newspaper men and photogra aphers and
the more fortunate townspeople who
were able to crowd aboard. But In
spector Dew was not among them. tAs
q precaution, he had embarked on the
Eureka's small tender, accompanied by
Chief Mccarthy Of the Quebec police
and ex-Chief Dennis OF the same city.
All wore the garb OF pilots and over

features from the man he sought. He
did not wish Crippen to recognize him
before he could approach and take ad-

the tender alongside the Montrose and
Dew and his companions stepped
aboard.

Crippen was standing near the rail

calm. But that he was nervous was
indicated to Dr.. tSewart. "There are
three pilots comin aboard" he said

The surgeon did not reply but kept
his eyes on the strangers who walked
rapidly toward them
"Crippen, / want you." said Inspector
Dew, quietly as he approached. The
dentist recoiled involuntarily as he
recognized the man who addressed him,
then the blood LEFT his face and he
