The officer could not answer that.
He had known where the Richardson
must be: he knew OF no other likely
to be there ut this season. The spray
from the waves had frozen upon Alan;
ice cleaned and glinted from the rail
and from the deck. Alans shoulders

He turned back to the others about

awful abjeCtness, came over the old
man. He freed himself from Alan and
went forward.
Alan went aft to the car deck. The
roar and eChoing tumut Of the ice
against the hull here drowned all 9TH

cars, in their four long lines. stood
wedged and chained and blocked in
place; they tipped and tilted, rolled
and swayed like the stanchions and
sides of the ship, fixed and secure.
Jacks on the steel deck under the
edges of the cars, kept them from
rocking on their trucks. Men paced
watchfulIy between the tracks, observ-
ing the movement OF the cars. The
cars creaked and groaned, as they
worked little this way and that; the
men sprang with sledges and drove the
blocks tight again or took an addi-
tional turn upon the jacks.
Alan saw old Burr who, on his way
to the wheelhouse, had halted to lis

stood motionless; he came on again
and stopped to listen.

Burr stood beside him without max

been pointed abeam, shot its glare for

in the dancing reflection of the fare.

ROB HOUSE AS

Believe Thief Got $4OO
Worth of Jewelry as
Phonograph Operated
MAN IN HOUSE AT
TIME OF ROBBERY

Jewerry valued at about $500 was
stolen from the home OF Walter L.
Turner. 1907 West Ninth street. on
Saturday night. while no one but
Jesse Tyson. the aged father OF Mrs.
Turner, was in the house.
In response to an advertisement
that appeared in a local paper Sat
urday evening announcing a phono-
graph for sale at 1907 West Ninth
street. a woman phoned the Turner
home. Mr.. Tyson, who answered
the telephone. said no one was home
az the time but himself and he
would rather the person on the
phone talk 20 his daughter about
tha photograph.
Shortly after this a woman came
10 the house and asked II she might
see the phonograph, which had been
advertised for sale. Mr.. Tyson in
formed her that his daughter who
had the instrument for sale, was not
home. However the woman asked
IL she might play the machine. She
was permitted to. and played the
phonograph for about three-quarters
Of an hour, while Mr.. Tyson also
was in the room listening TO the
music.
A short time after her departure
Mr.. and Mrs. Turner returned home
and found that their jewelry had
been stolen. It is thought that
while the phonograph was being
PLAYED someone got into the house
and looted the upstairs rooms.
The police have no trace Of the
missing Jewels or of the robber.
