New Collier Hector Stripped
Of Brass Fittings
MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR
Crime Committed While Officers and
Crew o. Hundred Men Were On
Board-lnvesteauon Ordered by
the Captain.

According TO authentic reports
reaching this city yesterday after
noon, the engine and fire rooms OF
the United States naval collier Hec'
tor, which is anchored Off Sewalls
Point. were stripped of all Of the
brass valves, piping and fittings eth
or Thursday night or early yesterday
morning. Details OF the robbery are
ineagre, but II is said that about $500
worth OF stuff was stolen and that
the ship was put out OF commission
by the robbers and she will have to
go TO a navy yard TO be repaired
An Investigation was started by
the commander OF the ship immediate
" after the robbery was discovered
yesterday morning. bu; so far as
could be learned last night no arrests
have yet been made. That sailors
of the Golfers crew are implicated
in the robbery IL said 10 be the firm
belief OF the officers of the ship and
u was rumored hore that the com
handing officer stated on board the
vessel yesterday that somebody on
board would go up for ten years or
more."
No Trace Of Booty Found.
So far as Is known no trace of tho
stolen stuff has yet been found and
the general belief is that men on
board the ship striped the engine and
fire rooms late in the night when
the crew was asleep. and passed the
stuff over the side of the ship 10 men
waiting below in small boats. Just
how the stuff could be gotten over
the side without the night watch
knowing about 1t is mystery, Ou.
the plumber might have been let down
by means of ropes out OF port holes
below deck with the chances of dis
ccvcry in the inky darkness mini
mized.
This robbery Is the most remarka-
BILE in the annals of shipping in this
section. There were more than 100
men aboard the big collier when the
yandals were at work stripping the
engines and boilers and it seems al
most impossible that men could have
wrought the havoc they did in the fire
and engine rooms without being dis.
covered by some one on ship board.
The Hector is one of the newest
and largest GOLFERS in the navy, hay
ing been commissioned in 1909.
