way back to the American waters, and
what they considered safety, arrived at
San Pedro yesterday. They came In
with-the Rover after tl days of the
fiercest weather Imaginable for such a

The story in which all concur, is a
harrowing one. It Is a tale o fear ef

who accompanied Captain Hall when he
visited Marco Bennis tn San Diego, de
clares that Hall promised Bennis that
he wonld take his daughter to San Juan
Caplstrsno, where she was to be given
work. . ;
Instead Hall headed South as BOon as
he was outside the bay at San Diego.
When Dora Bennis asked for an ex
planation the captain became churlish
and said he would do as he pleased.
Thereafter he was closely watched and
prevented from misdeeds by other mem
bers of the crew. - Mrs. Howerton de
clares she wrote the letter received by
Marco Bennis telling of the alleged kid
naping. She was driven to this, she declares,-by
repeated attempts of Hall to
drug both her and the glrl. . .

, After passing San. . Quenttn. ' from
