LOST IN A LINER.

HUNTING HIDDEN STOWAWAYS

A 48 HOURS' SEARCH

When the liner Olympic arrived «t New York on Wednesday she reported that two stowaways, who were found aboard soon after the liner 1 left Southampton, had broken, but of the ship's gao.i, and managed to hide ther.i6e]v?s in the vessel's vast interior so successfully that they had not been discover 3d up to the time the passengers landed on Vvednesday morning. Although ihc ship had been searched from end to end, there was no trace of them anywhere. They were hiding somewhere Wilh'n the Olympic's "streets," but the ship's crew, after 48 hours' hunting, were still baffled. The two stowaways, who gave the names of William McSweeney on'.! Joseph Hyster after their discove y, wee locked in. a third-class state-room. They kicked a panel out of the state-.-—in on Monday, and disappeared . sotre'viieru within the ten miles' 'hiding space v.-h'--. f the Olympic's myriad pa6sages and places of concealment present. The ship's officers believe that some steerage pas*<!ngers are in the plot, and furni.-'"ed li.e stowaways with food. Every exit was closely watched as the passsh b \. » were disembarking, and the steerage passengers were under surveillance at Ed is Island. If the stowaways escape t • 4\i -idventure will become an epic in sta :.•''♦.«•
