To the police Mrs. Drummond
described the missing Jewels as fol-
lows: Two strings of 273 pearls
each; one string OF 283: one large
black pearl ring set with diamonds:
one large white pe&rh ring set with
diamonds; one pair of large pearl
earrings, set with diamonds: one

n wireless message sent from the

day in n tug. They learned from
Mrs. Drummond details OF the THEFT
and began search of the ship, bat
not a trace of the jewels was found.
In Stateroom Drawer.
Mrs. Drummond explained thot
except at New York, she had worn
the jewels almost constantly on her
person, but had kept them under
her waist and had not displayed
them at any time, even while din
ing. Last night upon retiring, she
placed them in drawer i'll her
stateroom, as she had done each
night on the voyage. No one en-
cept her husband, her maid and her
self entered the room
Arising early this morning. she
was startled to find the drawer
empty. The captain ot the steamer
was notified and a quiet search was
begun. Stewards and Stewardesses
were questioned closely and their
clothes and belongings searched, and
when the detectives arrived there
were quiet Inquiries among the 1873
first cabin passengers aboard.

No clue was found, however, and
the custom authorities were appeal
ed to and, under guise of baggage
inspection, every ones luggage was
sifted thoroughly. but 80 far as
could be learned not even Il suspi-
cion was unearthed. Mrs. Drum
mond could give no hint which
would aid the authorities, but she
believes the stateroom door was LETT
unUcked duriTg tho night UTder
such circumstances it would have
been possible for a thief to have en-
tered the apartment while the ocru-
pant slept
The custom men examined care
fully the baggage and personal be-
iongings of not only the first cabin
passengers, but OF the 800 men and
women on the second cabin. No
one was temporarily detained, how
ever, and the police must now ex-
tend their search to pawn shops.
