men and photographers and the more for
tunate townspeople who were able to
crowd aboard. Inspector Dew was not
among these. AS a precaution he had
embarked the Eurekas small tender,
accompanied by Chief Mccarthy of the
Quebec police, and ex-Chief Dennis of the
same city. All wore the garb of pilots
and over his forid face Inspector Dew
had pulled a pilots visored cap TO hide
his features from the man he sought. He
did not wish Crippen recognize him
before he could appear and take ad-
vantage of the chance of escape.
Four sailors quickly rowed the tender
alongside the Montrose and Dew and his
companions stepped aboard.
Crippen was estanding near the rail
talking with Dr. Stuart the ships sur
geon and attempting to appear calm. But
that he was nervous was indicated by
his furtive glances and his remark to
DR.. Stuart.

he said nervously. "Is not that unusual"
The surgeon did not reply. but kept
his eyes on the strangers who walked
rapidly toward them.
