National Anthem
Drives Stowaways to
Seek Watery Grave
Singing of Star spangled
Banner by 1904 Irnnli-
grants Starts Mad Break
to Abandon Steamer

If it had not been for "The Star
Spangled Banner" as sung by 1907
Italian immigrants far out at sea-
eleven stowaways might have come
further than they did on the steamship
San Rossore, of the Lloyd Sabaudo
Line, which locked yesterday at Pier
4, Bush Terminal, Brooklyn, without
having been discovered.
The misfortunes of the eleven began,
all unknown to them, on the day when
Captain Antonio Lena expressed him
self of the opinion that it would be a
good idea to hold a song carnival on
May "a in honor of Italy's entrance
into the war.
Thirty-four Americans on board, WIZ
happened to know the first verse and
the chorus of "The Star-Spangled Ban
ner," thereupon piped up aid said that
since the ship were bound for America
and the immigrants could not do bet
ter than to stick with the ship no
harm could be done by acquainting
said Immigrants with the words Of
the national anthem.
So the thirty-four Americans went at
the 1904 immigrants with strange
words and much waving of arms, and
within two days-and by the time the
celebration was due-the 1,5O4 could
together, all at once, let out a noise
that might easily have been mistaken
for the "Star-Spangled Banner"
May "a came. The immigrants sang.

A week later Mother Bear was as

But Mother Bear didn't jump back
No, street Mother Bear wasn't fooled

Buffer with one Of her big paws,
Just in the nick of time Buffer got
out of the way as that big paw came
down. But had you been there You

Warden's Eel Steu Puts End
To Mineola Jail Hunger Strike
Proof Against Porterhouse, Prisoner Wealens Whep
Detachable Dish Prepared by Jailer-Cook, Who Is
Renowned for Culinary Art, Is Sci Before Him

John Dunbar is born cook. The
honor of being warden of the Nassau
County Jail in Mineola merely was
thrust upon him. A few years ago
when the county was scandaiized by
the discovery of the jolly, carefree
existence of prisoners in the jail, John
was selected to make life miserable
for the wretches behind the pars.
Since then all the inmates of the
Jail have been hidden sternly three
times day to fall to and demolish
fish chowders and fries, piethoric
apple pies, whose crusts are flaky and
brown, and ali the other good things
that Johns inhuman ingenuity and
skill could contrive. It's been tough
warden who delights in cooking and
the kind of cook who delights in see
ing his food consumed.
For four days, however, Johns stern
intentions concerning Charles Mar
shall, prisoner committed Saturday
for burglary, were foiled by the de-
termination of the prisoner. He vowed
he would starve to death before going
to Sing Sing again.
Adamaht Before Temptation
Until yesterday it looked as though
he would be successful, in spite of the
fact that he probably had selected the
most difficult place in the world in
which to die from famine. Not bit
of food would he touch, although John
worked aromatic miracles in the kitch-
en- and coaxed him with porterhouse
and mushrooms, cream puffs and but
terhsh.
The cunning jailer even locked Mar
shall in the same cell with Mike
Flynn, the most voracious prisoner in
the county and the pride of Johns
heart. Mikes gustatory champings,
however, merely caused Marshall to
turn YEARLY with his face to the wall,
and yesterday John became alarmed
for his prisoners health and his own
reputation.
Here he was. selected for the post
of warden of the Nassau County Jail
because of his hard heart and stern

ever, had not been warned
Thus it came to pass that while the
carnival was at its loudest Captain
Lena caught sight of eleven men run

pearance of being about to abandon the
ship.
They were caught After while they
were convinced that the ship was
neither sinking nor burning, but that
it was given over to a celebration in

a prisoner eat! 1t kept John awake, and
before dawn yesterday he stole out OF
the jail with II gunnysack over his
shoulder When he returned, before
breakfast, the sack was writing to the
contortions of three fresh-caught cells,
weighing more tan tiv pounds
The delicious and permeating fra

Jail about breakfast time. There are
few cooks who can excel John at any
dish, but in the making of eel stew
he is past master. With this eel
stew he took special pains. The mere

The whole prison shifted hopefully,

Mike pitched in. About two pounds
of eel had gone into the part of the
stew he had received and more than 81

and his mouth watering, and began to

With visible reluctance Mike did so
and FIVE minutes later the dish WIS

and Marshall, for once, looked hungry.
When the warden, without a word,
placed the rest of the stew in the cell,
Marshall, in equal silence, fell on it

He had broken the only hunger strike
the Nassau County Jail ever had and
