 If wealthy automobile driver was arrested for speeding and p4,t 1ID heayy bonds for his appearances in a Bridgeport court; if he came from another state and passed through a connecticut town at a rate exceedins e0 miles an hour and to all consta bIe sheriff and state police orders to stou merely turned and laughed at both chase and bullets; if outdistancing his pursuers he arrived in Bridgeport without his number being taken; if he puf up at prominent garage and confd1ng to the management his pur- suit, had the automobile registry mum Der quickly taken out of sight: if he appeared in court and paid a minor line. returned to the garage and re- painted the car a dull white with harmless tire paint; if he dressed his two eenpa nions in the guise of women and while dozens of local and state police guarded every exit from the city slipped quietly and unsuspected through their lines and also through the very hamlets where his offense had been Question-WHAT WOULD THE AUTHORITIES DO?

CREW OF AKELA
 WENT TO RESCUE
Yacht Stranded on Penfeld Reef Saved By Those on Board H. A. Bishops Yacht.

Ihe yacht Emma B, of Fall River
 which was stranded on PenfeId Reef
 on Sunday, May 25, was saved by the crew of Gen. Henry A. Bishops yacht Akela, and the mystery is cleared. Miss Marguerite Bishop first discovered the yacht and noted her dangerous posi- ton. It was just sundown and Miss Bishop called the attention Of Captain Greene to the vessel. The crew of the Akela immediately went to the res- cue.
 The power launch Of the Akela. took off the owner, A. Brad1e, and crew of the Emma B and landed them safely at the Bridgeport Yacht club where the owner got into communication with Bridgeport and attempted to get a tug to pull off his boat. His efforts failed and he returned to the Akela and begged the crew to get off his boat at the next full tide.
 Captain Greene, Chief Engineer El- ward and Mate Pickering volunteered to stand by the Emma B until morn ing and attempt to get her off. Before daylight the boat was got c1esr of the reef and lowed into Black Rock har- greates damage. This is the actual Dor by the power launch of the Akela. The volunteers were in the water all night and were wet to their necks but they accomplished the difficult task with little damage to the boat. The loss of the propeller shaft was the sreateste damage. This is the actual explanation of the presence of the boat in the harbor safe instead of be- ing distributed in pieces along Fair field beach.
