was arrested as suspect. She was
dressed as O boy. Inspector Dew
identified both.
D The arrest was very dramatic. In
spector Dew boarded the Montrose
disguised as pilot, as Crippen was
pacing the deck with Surgeon Stew
art. He saw the pilot boat pulled by
but four seamen and remarked that
there seemed to be a good many pi.
lots In the boat, but he made no at.
tempt to escape. He continued to
promenade for FIVE minutes. after
which Crippen felt tap on his
shoulder and turned to face Inspector
Dew In uniform. 4

shine held sway before. Before the
shadows Of the wharf a skin shot out
and lost itself In the mist. The dis.
NAL horn Of the steamer hooted and
the bell from the lighthouse buoy
sent forth Its message OF guidance
and assurance.
In the skin sat four saiormen. pea
jacketed, brass-buttoned, vizor-capped
officers of the pilot service. They
rowed hard but clumsily, with grim
determination In each stroke.
Aboard the steamer Montrose, Ave

dressed In a pilots uniform; Chief
Mccarthy and ex.Chief Dennis, like
wise attired. as well as Francois Gau-

the deck Of the Montrose.
Dew's hand was extended to the
captain, but his eye passed on.
That's my man." he said.
1t was not hard to see that he was
having a difficult time playing his
role as pilot and itched to assert
himself as an officer of the law. Cap
tain Kendall, Mccarthy and Dew
chattted at the companionway. Den
mis- and Gaudreau turned forward to
the wheelhouse. Or. Stewart and
Robinson passed 80 close to Dew that
the latter could have touched him.
Still not a move was made. Dew was
sizing up his quarry carefully, pitt
lessly. There could be no mistake.
Robinson coughed slightly and turned
toward the captain as though TO ask
a question. He was perfectly uncon-

Carthy he said, That's the man."
