Of their time IN their cabin and shun-

Alfred Smith, the dining room stew

to keep Miss Leneve seated by him at
the table. He said that Crippen asked
for two seats at the captains table
side by side and next 10 the wall, co
that no one could sit by Miss Leneve
other than himself. My boy is a

after some little argument succeeded
in getting the desired seats. In this
way he prevented any passengers en-

voice. One of the few Engnsh- speak
ing passengers on board, Richard
Homer, got nearer Crippen than any

average of three bottles of beer
day, and he had thought it strange
that a father should allow a young son
