Ethel Claire Leneve, are aboard the
steamship Montrose. Tonight the YES

UP the St Lawrence river, nearing this
point. where Inspector Dew of Scotland
Yard waits impatiently with handouts
ready to Chamber aboard and arrest
the doctor.
Inspector Dew got in touch witt. the
Montrose again about 10 o'clock tonight,
and although he would not say what
messages lie received, he seemed relieved
by the news, The inspectors greatest
fear is that Crippen may recognize him
before he gets aboard the Montrose.
The British detective has a strongly
marked face, hard to disguise. and he

seemed unlikely that the steamer
would make as good time as her COM

The vessel was we'll within the mouth
OF the river tonight, however, and in

from here TO Quebec usually occupies
