and their captorS aboard would be due
here soon after midnight and early in
the evening crowds began to gather at
the pier. AS the night advanced the
crowd grew greater until the police

suasion. assumed a more determined
attitude, finally pushing back the
throng from the gangway in no more
gentle manner than the circumstances
necessitated.
When the boat swung into oher pier
Crippen was still in Cabin No. 8,
where he was confined yesterday. With
him was Detective Dennis. Miss LIE
Neve was under close watch of Chief
Mccarthy, in Cabin No. 5. Through
ont the night Inspector Dew had pass
ed from one cabin to the other, not for
one moment relaxing the watch upon
the prisoners who had slipped
through his fingers once before. A half
hour before the landing. the prisoners
were told that they were nearing Que
bee. Both, who had been under the
greatest strain for hours, showed in
creased restlessness. Crippen. who had
been attempting to read a novel. toss
ed the book aside and dropped his
head in his hands in the same despair
ing attitude that he assumed yester-
day forenoon when he heard the fate

At the same time Miss LIE Neve, in
her quarters in another part of the
Vessei, fell on her knees and gaZed
out of the port hole into the blackness
Of the night. Suddenly she turned
back into her room and was seized
with a fit of coughing.
1t was a nervous cough that racked
her and the nerves of her guard and
the physician. who had minstered to
her physical needs from the time that
she collapsed following her arrest.
The bells that indicated that the
steamer was being reduced to half
speed. stopped and backed. sounded
throughout the ship and the prisoners
looked anxiously towards their cap
tors as though realizing that they had
reached the shore that had refused
them a refuge but wondering what the
next hour would bring them.
At 100 o'clock Capt Kendall came
down from the bridge and notified In
spector Dew that in a few moments his
passengers would be taken ashore.
Dew notified Mccarthy and Denis.
Presently Denis emerged from the
cabin door and Crippen whom he held
firmly by the arm as they passed not

they passed the stateroom which tn"

Neve out to the passageway.
Both prisoners were so near to phys

at each other. Miss lie Neve tottered
az she moved forward and hardly
could have proceeded alone. ON one
side Mccarthy held her gently by the
arm. while on tie other side she was
supported by stewardess.
The woman wore a gray dress whic!

had crossed the Atlantic were taken
from her
Over her hat heavy veil had been
thrown. But she scarcely needed tn"
veil tn hide her features. for her head
was so bent that no one could have
seen her face. On the way over from,
Antwerp. the face of Miss LIE Neve
had appeared too pretty for that of n
boy. A half hour after she had been
placed in custody her features appear
Ell to be rather those of well-ma-
tured woman who had suffered much.

he embarked at Antwerp. but thos'
who had seen him then and saw him
today said that anxiety had given him
a facial disguise more effective than
any he had tried to assume. His face
is smooth shaven.
AS they appeared on the gangplank
and caught sight of the enormous
crowd that surged about the pier des-
determined to get glance at
the pair, Crippen and the woman
would have dropped in their tracks but
for the strong arms which supported
them. Cripen's manacled hands swing

side. Her closely cut hair still gave
her the boyish appearance which she

crowd were fooled into thinking that
the diminutive figure was not that of
the woman who had challenged the at
tention of two continents and believed
that the police were using a little boy
disguised as a woman to distract the
attention of the crowd and so give
them opportunity to remove the real
prisoner with less Inconvenience.
