Before leaving the pier Police Cap- tain Kemp saw to the disposal of the manacled prisoners. He then took Najla to Manning's house and was discussing with the girl herself and May Manning the provision of some new and inaccessible abode, where friend might dwell unmolested.
 He was called to the telephone and an excited voice came over the wire: ''Mr. Manning has just sent a wire less which seems to have been dis patched soon after the St. Paul reached the Narrows. It reads as follows:
 All Singh and Katisha discerned clearly by Margaret and self on board tug Cyrus P. King, going south off pier fl. Officer on watch agrees that tug Is probably heading for open sea- Time off Battery 12:3o. Sailor believes Cyrus P. King usually docks near small wharf north of Spuyten Duyvil.

 Kemp ran out like one possessed of a fiend. He leaped into the waiting
 
 to a pier where the fastest police launch in New York was ever in readiness. Moreover, the speedy little craft carried in her bows the wherewithal to enforce her com mands on sea or river, because a heavy tarpaulin shrouded from public and a quick-firing gun which poured out one-pound shells at the rate of fifteen minute.
 Kemp thought hard during the drive, with the result that one of his assistants simply took telephone booth by storm, and set every de- partmental circle in motion. Even the navy was appealed to, nor was Captain Bronson forgotten.
 Bronson was so peculiarly qualified to assist in the hunt for Ali Singh that Kemp was most anxious to secure his cooperation. The astute police captain meant to leave no stone unturned.
 Bronson asked for no more enjoy able occupation. Having made sure that he was in possession of all avail- able information, he raced to the orderly room and was fortunate enough to find Captain Cook deep in conversation with the colonel of the Eleventh A few words sufficed to explain the vital importance of the duty imposed by Kemp. The colonel. of course, was already aware of the danger one of his most popular off, cers had incurred at the hands of the Asiatic conspirators. He agreed read fly to place a troop of cavalry at the
