Sheriff Dan Hardie had brief
respite one night and as he had had
practically no sleep at all since the
hunt began naturally was looking
for place to curl up and he WASH t
very particular where he slept. Not
even stopping long enough to sweep
up a nice place, he grabbed a mail
order catalogue for pillow and was
soon giving good representation of a
sawmill during work hours How
ever, his slumbers were not of a
peaceful nature as big fat seer
pion was soon seeking nice place
on the official back for operations OF
a personal nature. With move
ment like the charge of a buffalo
the sheriff was soon making move
ments like the popular dances. The
men nearest him grabbed that piece
of wearing apparel that was handiest
and yanked. In a twinkling Dan
was looking like September Morn
but happily minus the scorpion In
disgust he grabbed up a rifle and
went out on guard duty with 1.-THE
boys" relieving one of the men.

During the stay of the posse on
Key Largo south of Jewish an anus
ing incident occurred in the neigh
borhood of the now famous Crock
House." Naturally every one re-
naming on the island was keyed up
to high point by the proximity OF
the bandits and presence of the
guards. An old negro was about to
evacuate a house along with the
man for whom he was working. 1t
was almost dark when they left the
house and Immediately they started
to make dash for the railway.
However, in transit the old darby,
while at fullest flight, came in con-
tact with clothes line, which
caught him across the breast. Not
withstanding this impeachment he
continued to run, and the longer he
ran the farther he went. He was fin
ally brought to earth by his master

One of the hardest things with
which the boys had to contend
vas the water supply. There are no
driven wells on the entire island Of
Key Largo, in fact none can be Sc
cured from the earth The popula-
ton must depend on their tanks or
cisterns which are set above ground
catching the rainfall from roofs.
Naturally this being more or less eX-
posed to tropical sun and elements,
does not put the quality above par.
IN several instances men making a
rush for water after scouting and
beating through the woods, drank
from tanks that were exposed and
were glad to get it, although polly
wogs and the larvae of mosquitoes
were plainly discernible. In several
cases the water had sour, singing
taste similar to quinine.

rCSted back in the brush" several
