Note—Earlier details concern- ing the Gloucester side of their same episode will be found on page 14 of this issue of the Herald. Yarmouth, N. 8, Aug. 22.—The liguor-laden schoonet J Scott Hanken- son today dropped anchor off Yar- mouth light with a grim story of a battle on the high seas with rum pi- rates, a battle that sent captain and cook to a hospital in Gloucester, Mass, with wounds. The schooner came into port out of a 40 mile “smoky’ sou'wester that lashed the waves so unmercifully that a tugboat ful' of newspapermen were unable to come alongside. Frank Moore, mate, who became skipper af- ter Captain Arthur Moore and Harry Harm had been landed by fishermen who answereq the schooner's distress signals, sholted his story over the rail. Here is the-story the mate shouted over the rail to newspapermen: ““The pirates came up to us about 6 o'clock on Monday afternoon. Our crew with the exception of the cook were all on deck at the time. The pi- rate boat came alongside’ and two men, the only one we could see on her then, came aboard and asked for our skipper, Captain Arthur Moore. “He led them down aft to his cabin. We presumed the visitors had some business to transact with him and we suspected nothing. ‘'The cook was in the cabin at the time. *“As the captain was going\down the companionway, one of the)strange men shot him in the back. Our skipper yelled to us to come and help, “Just as we started aft, seven men who had been hidden on the pirate boat swarmed aboard us. They were armed to the teeth with guns and re- volvers, They drove me and my three meen toward the forecastle, where we were forced: to remain until the pi- rates were ready to leave the ship.” MRS, RVERY CRITIGKL, Has Restless Night in Hospital—Fu- neral of Little Boy Victim of Auto- mobile Accident Thursday Mrs. Mary Avery of 30 John street, injured in an automobile accident on Castle's bridge on the Torrington- Thomaston road Monday night is still in ai critical condition at the Charlotte Hungerford hospital in Torrington, of- ficials of that institution stated this morning.

CITY BABIES HEALTHIER Chicago Infant Welfare Society Upsets Tradition That Crowded Communi- ties Breed Death, Chicago, Aug. 22.-—Some urban communities, in spite of the crowds, are healthier places for babies than many rural districts, according to the Infant Welfare Society of Chicago. A study of the mortality charts for cities and for the country shows that babies born in crowded cities have a better start in‘life than children in the coun- try, the society reports. “This of course is not because of the crowds, but in spite of them,” says the report, “and is a condition made possible through the education of the mothers even before the babies are born. ‘Tt is owing to the fact that we find organizations sueh as the Infant Welfare Society fighting a Dbattle against ignorance, which has cost a heayy toll in infant lives in cities such as Chicago, and that we find lLealth departments carrying on the work of instruction, that in spite of tenements, crowds and hot waves, througl: education, lives are being sav- ed each year. We must replace the old idea that the country is a health- ier place with the idea that education may mul¥e almost any community a healthy place.” TO ENROLL: TAXPAYERS After work on the re-arranging of voting. lists has been completed and the numerous deaths and marriages properly recorded, the registrars of voters will .begin their personal tax enrollment for 1924, they announced this morning.
