WILLIAM BUTTINSKY
BREAKS INTO JAIL
He Upsets Beer Kegs and Ash Bar
reIs, Smashes Boxes, Scares
Women Until Arrested

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.--A queer look
ing prisoner with long white chin whls-
kers and bowed head was dragged into
the Liberty avenue police station in
East New York
"Name?' inquired the lieutenant,
who was bent over his ledger and did
not look up.
"William Buttinsky," some one in
the station house answered.
Color
white"
Just then there was a shuff1ing and
the lieutenant looked up to see every
one scatter In the center of the room
stood a goat, apparently undecided as
to what it would do next.
'Where did you get him?" demanded
the lieutenant. Detective Isaac Nc
Loughlin cautiously stepped forward
and explained.
He had been approached by two
frightened women, who rushed up to
him and declared a ferocious animal
was loose on Pitkin avenue. McLougi-
lin found a group of boys rolling sew
eral empty beer kegs on the corner of
that thoroughfare. They said goat
had turned them over, fingered awhile,
and gone on it's way.
The detective took up the trail which
led along Pitkin avenue and wound
other. Ash barrels had been upset and
boxes broken into bits One store
keeper said he had seen something
waltzing with hitching post.
-Four blocks from the starting point
Mclaughlin saw a fat man suddenly
throw his hands in the air and 10 a
steve Brodie act on the pavement.
Close behind him was the goat waiting
for the fat man to get on his feet
",
sailant and with the help of other de-
tectives led his captive to the station
house.
There a charge of disorderly conduct
was made against him. There also
was a suspicion that he had sampled
the dregs of the beer kegs. Bill was
lodged in an adjoining stable, and the
policemen were instructed to find out
whose goat they had.

Islands Vanish over Night

Sometimes an island visible at evening
was missing next morning, having been
torn from its roots and moved to another
anchorage. Some of the shifty isles were
as large as the Napo. In many places the
channel is not much wider than the ship.
Tho river was very low and foul with
all sorts of floating distractions, tree
trunks, branches and floating masses Of
vegetation and disintegrating islands Mon
keys and snakes float away the ram
bling isles.
At a point 200 miles below Iauitos tho
ship touched a sandbar. With the revers-
ing of the engines her heel touched ans
other bar proving within what a narrow
channel she was moving. Her rudder was
twisted seventy degrees away from the
quadrant.
All hands fell to work on a jury tiller,
A fair substitute was made, and in four
days the ship was at Iquitos, innermost
seaport OF the world, with a CUSTOM house
and untold MILLIONS OF wealth in rubber.
In eleven days floating down the tide
less Amazon, depending on steam and cur
rents, the Napo was at Para again, where
her rubber was repaired.

Doing Her Best

won't you try to love me?" he
sighed.
"I have tried" she replied, kindly
but firmly.
MY rich aunt has just died" he
went on.
I'm that case dear, will try again."

NEW YORK, Jan Shack from a
magic black river where islands have no
firm hold but shift about. floating out to
sea, the snugly built little steamship Napo
of the Red Cross line of the Booth Steam
ship company arrived from the head waters
of the Amazon Through tortuous channels
as variable as breezes, guided intuitively by
mongrel pilots, she threaded her course 2lOO
miles across the South American continent
to within 200 miles of the Andes and back
again.
The Napo is the biggest draught ship
that ever went up to the foothills OF the
Andes drawing when she left Para 10 feet
6 inches by her stern.
At Para the chief officer, Robert Roskell,
said yesterday Captain Barnett took on Two
pilots who appeared to be mixtures OF
indian, Spanish, Portuguese and Chinese
blood. They stood at the wheel, watch and
watch From Manaos where the ship
touched five days after quitting Para. the
course lay up the Salamoes, really the upper
Amazon.
The saIamoes keeps shoaling everywhere.
-Four quartermasters and seamen sound
constantly, one forward and one amidshlps,
one on each side A score of times captain
Barnett sent ahead the steam launch with
the second officer and an Indian pilot, to
blaze the way"
I'm spite of all precautions the Napo kept
grounding, and anchor was dropped every
night.
