Honest Stowaways
», , Stowaway,s are bad boys from -the captain's point of view. Sometimes they are not quite so bad. Hugh McAlister and Owen Fitzpatrick, two unemployed lads, stowed away at' Glasgow on the Furness liner Hoosac and went to Boston, U.S.A., where -they escaped and went up-country.- They fell in'with an old sailor, who told 'them the ship's captain would be fined six i hundred and fifty dollars for their es- ; capade. They tramped back over sixty miles and gave themselves up '■because, the captain was a decent fellow." v They were fined £5 each or twentyeight days. Surely they deserve a better fate?,
