Scotch or my men and me-
Captain Roy was questioned about n
claim made by Sewers that women went
as passengers when the craft first sailed
from Atlantic City.
Sewers Full Of Soup"
"You seem to know an awful lot. "
the captain replied. Then he added ::
''No, didn't have any women aboard.
wouldn't let any on my ship. If Sow
crs says that. he's full of SOUP"
Just then very ornate and expen-
sive tourning car came up and n young
man who had been at the wheel got out.
That's young Harry Sewers, son of
Henry F." said one of the crew, The
youth came up and spoke to Captain
Roy. The captain went ashore, and the
two converscd earnestly for n while. The
young man denied that his name was
Sewers, saying it was Foster.
When the captain was asked later
if that had been Sewers he answered ::
What did he tell you his name was?'
When told the youth had said Eos

ought TO know his own name, oughtn't t

Easy to Slip Away
The Focomoke has been lying in
Gardners' Basin, berthed between the
yachts Matthew S. Quay, former prop
Crty of Senator Penrose, and the Arid
strangely named to be In the com
rany of the Pocomoke. These two craft
were moved away during the morning.
so that if Captain Roy tries TO carry
out his purpose of Slipping out. pos
sibly tonight, there will be nothing to
stop him.
fhe senior Sewers, whose home is in
Linwood. near Pleasantvlle. and who
insists the Pocomoke is his, no matter
what Captain Roy says, is uttering de-
tiance of any one who questions the
legality of the trade the focomoke is
engaged in.
II should worry about being Or
rested" said Sewers. The Pocomokc
is my boat. Furthermore, she is en-
gagged in perfectly legitimate trade and
defy any one to prove that she s. hot.
Sewers was seated on the cabin tor
Of the schooner. and as he shouted his
defiance he waved his arms. After each
sentence his imam Friday" giant
Negro, who SAYS his name is Picrson
Roberts, nodded assent. Roberts. who
says he is the champion heavyweight Of
the Bahama Islands and wants crack
at Jack Dempsey, acted as though he
wanted to throw ashore Sewers inter
viewer.
Will Go When Ready
MY boat came in here because she
was in trouble outside" acclaimed
Sewers. she will stay here just as
long as I want her to, and when |
am ready to give the word she will
leave. | am not obligated to any one.
That craft cost me $50 900. and
she is nifty vessel. When she left
here several weeks go she was to engage
in the lumber trade. There wasn't a
thought about carrying liquor, and
never know a word about it until got
a wire from my son Harry, who is the
chief mate. He informed me that he
had an excellent chance to put the
Pocomoke in trade from Nassau, Ba
hama Islands, TO Quebec, and told mG
it would be necessary to change the
Pocomoke over to the British registry,
| did not like that at all, y
Sewers then got up from his cabin
top seat and in no mild terms de-
nounccd the action of Captain Roy
in daring to put the POcomokc under
the British flag.
"IIe had no right to do that" Sow
ers shouted. 1T was all wrong"
Then Sewers lapsnd into n Smell o,
