His answers being incoherent, he
was turned over to the police.

OF that institution was called but
failed to recognize him. Two local
physicians. after making an exam

mington police in an effort TO learn
the identity OF stranger. The only
report IN the hands of the detectives
was that OF a missing stowaway,

Hook, Saturday. September 9, that
came anyway near fitting the mans
description. It is reported the stow
away jumped from the vessel when
opposite Edge Moor. and either es-
capped or was drowned. The miss
ing stowaway answered his descrip-
ton, except for age. The stranger
Is apparently an Armenian or Ital-
ian. He is of slender build. weigh
ing about 1876 pounds, dark com
plexion, with dark hair and eyes al
small mustache, wearing a suit of
white canvas overalls and jumper.
