Crippens arrest accomplished. Dew
hurried to Miss Leneve's stateroom,
where ne found her, still dressed as
John Robinson, Jr.,' on the verge of

told that she was under arrest was pitt

so hard to retain throughout the voy

at an end. Immediately the pilot boat
came alongside and the newspaper

aboard. Crippen they found hand
