rose when the vessel laid to off Father
Point to take on a pilot. 1t was known
that h steamer would be due here
after midnight and early in the even
Ing crowds began to gather at the pier:
AS the night advanced the crowd
grew greater until the police found
they had a big job on their hands to
restrain the curious ones and so per-
init the landing Of Inspector Dew and
his prisoners.
Excitement Grows Intense.
When the steamer was sighted down
the harbor the excitement was intense
and the police, who up to that time had
used moral suasion, assumed a more
determined attitude, finally pushing
back the throng from the gangway in
no gentle manner.
When the boat swung into her pier
Crippen was still in cabin No. s., in which
he was confined yesterday. With him
was Detective Denis. Miss Leneve was
under close watch Of Chief Mccarthy
In cabin No. 5. Throughout the night
Inspector Dew had passed from one
cabin to the other, not for one moment
relaxing the watch On the prisoners
who once slipped through his fingers.
A half hour before the landing the
prisoners were told that they were now
nearing Quebec. Both had been under
the greatest strain for hours and

who had been attempting to read a
novel, tossed the ook aside and drop
ped his head in his hands in the same
despairing attitude that he assumed
yesterday forenoon when he heard the
fateful words:
I'm the name Of the king I arrest
you"
Miss Leneve III.
At the same time, Miss Leneve, in
her quarters in another part Of the
vessel, 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 ministered to her physical need
from the time that she collapsed fol-
lowing her arrest.
The bells which indicated that the
steamer was being reduced to half
speed were rung and the prisoners
looked anxiously toward their captors
ly Denis emerged from the cabin door
the shore that had refused them a
refuge, but wondering what the next
hour would bring them.

as though realizing they had reached
with Crippen, whom he held by the
arm as they passed both main cabins
in a round about direction. Crippen,
his face white as death, walked In with
a shambling gait. AS they passed the
stateroom which the doctor formerly
occupied with Miss Leneve, the door
of that room swung open and Detec-
tive Mccarthy half carried Miss Lee
out to the ~passageway.
Both Near Collapse.
Both prisoners were so near to
physical collapse that they scarcely
glanced at each other. Miss Leneve
as she moved forward and
hardly could have proceeded alone. On
one side Mccarthy held her gently by
the arm, while on the other side she
was supported by a stewardess. The
woman wore a grey dress which had
given her by the stewardess when
the boys clothing, In which she had
crossed the Atlantic, was taken from
her. Over her hat a heavy veil had
thrown. But she scarcely needed
the veil to hide her features, for her
vas so bent that no one could
seen her face.
On the way over from Antwerp the
face Of Miss Leneve had appeared too
pretty for that of a boy. A half hour
after she had been placed in custody
her features appeared to be rather
those Of a well matured oma who
had suffered much.
Dew led the way to the gangway, q
steward carrying a small suit case
marked y. Robinson" This was the
only baggage which the two brought
with them. Neither had an extra suit
of clothing. Crippen wore the same
brown suit and hat he did when he
embarked at Antwerp, but those who
had seen him hen and saw him to-
day said that anxiety a given him
a facial disguise more effective than
any he had tried to assume He is
smooth shaven.
AS they appeared on the gang
plank and caught sight of the enor-
nous crowd that surged about the pier
desperately determined to get a glimpse
at the pair, Crippen and the woman
would have fallen but for the arms
which supported them.
Crowd Almost Deceived.
Crippen's manacled hands swung
loosely in front of him. Miss Leneve
swayed from side to side. Her close
ly cut hair still gave her the boyish
appearance which she had tried to
adopt, n many of the crowd were
fooled into thinking that the dimin-
utive figure was not hat Of the wom-

lice were using a little boy disguised
as a woman to distract the attention
of the crowd and so give them oppor-
tunity to remove the real prisoner
with less inconvenience.
The little procession had scarcely
reached the foot of the gang plank
when the pushing crowd closed In
around 1t, and 1t was only after the
police had charged that they were able
to make a passage to the cab that
was waiting just outside of the pier
shed.
When the officers found an opening
they half carried their charges to the

other moment the vehicle was clat-
tering along h wooden floor Of the
pier and out into the narrow street
