the Boston, disabling the engine and
cutting off the steam 'and electric
supply.
The passengers were immediately
ordered to the boats. and put out
into the dark, as it was not known
how soon the vessel might go
down. The Boston's sister ship,
the New York, was not far away.
and with the Commonwealth and
the Priscilla. of the Fall Riv‘zr Line
sped to the rescue.
Because of the fog. however, the
ships feared to approach too closely,
thinking that they might run down
some of the lifebonts, which were
flouting aimlessly on the smooth
water. The Boston was unable to
signal her exact whereabouts with
her whistle, because of the lack of
steam."
Searchlights Ploy Through Fog.
The rescuing ships brought their
searchlights into play. but due to
the fog the radius of visibility was
extremely short, and it was only
possible to pick up those of the
passengers whose lifeboats happen-
ed to drift into the glare. Many
were taken aboard by the Swift Ar-
row. but later were transferred to
the Priscilla. to be taken to New
York.
. Reports received by the Indepen-
uent Wireless Telegraph Company
at East Hampton, N. Y.. stated that
the Captain and wireless operator
were the only ones remaining
aboard «the sinking ship. Two tugs
arrived from Newport and were
placed on either side at the Boston.

monwealth. in an effort to keep her
afloat until she could make New-

The tug, he added. huld passed a.

stated that the conversation had tak-
en place in the office of Judge
\Valsh and that it was not a. court
decision. This was denied by At-
torney Connery, who insisted that it
was in Chambers. The motion was
denied by Judge Vosburgh.
Attorney Connery then asked for
a dischnrge on the count of offer-
ing and exposing for sale. This mo-
tion was granted and the count dis—
charged.
He then asked that the charge of
keeping with intent to sell be dis-
charged on the grounds that there
were no witnesses that Plunkett
was keeping with the intent, to sell.
This motion was denied by Judge
i \‘osburgh.
l .Attorney Connery next asked for
permission to file briefs which was
not granted him by Judge Vosburgh.
In handing down the decision
Judge Vosburgh stated that in the
eyes of the court, Plunkett was a
previous offender and that he had
been convicted in that court and that
he had some. constitutional duties as
well as constitutional rights.

He admitted it with a smile. Mr.

waiting to go home. \thn they saw
the prizes being thrown to the. wait-
mg kiddies in the field. they scam-
‘porod out of the trolley cars in one
mass and made for the spot where
the whatnots were being given away.
This crowd arrived just too lute to

another wild rush back to the trolley

over the park to them he had two

hands several hams that had to be
cooked and sliced. Mr. L'nholtz
took them and brought than back

The Sentinel received so much
