Your instructions have been carried out to the letter. Le Xeve not yet out.'' A skiff containing four poajaekelA and detectives then set. out for tho Montrose and hoarded tluo vessel, and they found Crippen smoking 011 the promenade deck. Inspector Drew chatted, to Capt Kendall while he eyed Crippen and then said "That's my man." He continued chatting until Crippen approached apparently to ask .1 question. He commenced to linve a. word with the captain in a jovial tone, but. realised the situation, immediately and his face turned l/lio colour of death. He was immediately arrested and as he descended (lie asked "Have voti .1 warmirtP What is the charge"" MacC'arthy, the Canadian Chief Constable, produced tliß warrant, which Crippen seized, and after reading greedily, muttered "Murder and mutilation, Oh God!"

The prevailing impression of all on board the "Montrose," who were brought into touch with Le. Neve, is that she is wholly ignorant of ttho murder of Mrs Crippen. Her submission to and following of Crippen induced belief in his hypnotic influence over her. Even the gaolers were a fleeted by he r distress on receiving her mother's cable bidding her to tell every tilling. Unconfirmed reports are prevalent that Crippen intended to land at Kather Point and had his baggage ready. He drew a revolver on entering Ins cabin, but was prevented from using it. and he threw it out of the porthole.

Le Neve fainted, and a stewardess summoned a doctor, but before ho arrived the girl attempted to take a powder, but after a shaip struggle, the stewardess prevented her.
