No Rescue Too Hazardous For Police Chasing River Pirates, Sa Ships, as Well as Welcoming 730 Troopships, but a Small Part of the Work the Patrol Performed, Boat Patrol ' In 26 Years of Service ving Wrecked and Burning Ooperight, 1999, by The Prem Pubtiehing Co. (The New York Rrenine World). By M. G. Maury. | 1894, when they first entered the Police Boat Patrol off- cially on the records of the Harbor A Police Station and unofficially christ- emed her, “The Patsy,” has the boat been sdle. For twenty-six years, win- ter and summer, she has cnased river pirates, fought fires, arrested muti- neers, rescued drowning persons, guarded ammunition, escorted world celebrities ashore, or greeted with wannly welcoming toots returning woldiers and sailors of Uncie Sam from the wide word over. If you can get Lieut. Harry Daubert te talking, you'll hear tales that would make Clark Russell turn grees with envy—and all true. Daubert is one of the men who re- cemly won fame by his part in the heroic rescue of the passengers and ‘crew of the Old Dominion Liner Prin- cess Anne, stranded off the south Long Island coast, a hopeless wreck, battered and banged about by the rising seas. But Daubert and his skipper, Capt. James W. Hallock, are only two of a long line of such men who have handied “The Patsy.” Any old- timer will tell you of Theodore Cope- land, her first captain; of “Buck” ‘Taylor, of George Ellis, of Tony Ad- lew, her first pilot; of George Huyck, the first of the long list of engincers who have ruled below decks, getcing out all that wus in the 500-horse- power engines. And of course there was Mibert O. Smith, one of the most daring and eitlful all the commanders “The Patsy” ever had, ‘When she first came into the pub- lie eye it was before the days of the consolidation that made the city Greater New York, and Staten Island was a separate community. The city was unable to cope with the river pirates who for years had been loot- ing the strings of laden coal barges, that day and night were towed through the Kil Ven Kull to Bliza- bethport. These thieves had been taking an annual toll estimated at 50,000 tons of coal, sneaking along- side in the dark, tying up to the sivw- moving barges ‘and transferring the stuff to their own boats. The Staten Island authorities and the New Jersey authorities alike were helpless. Then “The Patsy” came and started a campaign. The story of that campaign reads like romance of the dime novel brand. There were chases in the dark, the waters of the Lower Bay, and the Kili, lit by the flashes of the revolvers used by thieves and pdiice. But at the last the gangs were broken up and the coal moved sufely to its destination. Ri pirates, however, did not keep “The Patsy” busy all the time, There wapa night, with a gale biow- ing up the bay, whipping sleet into the faces of the mea on deck, when tihere came a call for aid from the vig German bark Elbe, lying off Bed- joe's Island. Her crew had mutinied, threatened to throw the officers over- board, and refused point bank to work the vessel through the Narrows out to sea. The mutineers were finally subdued and taken off after a fight Then there was the of the Procyon, a steamer in from Argen- Ht moment since Jan. 13, case tine ports. and anchored off Bedloe’s Imand. Thirteen of her men struck and when the patrol drew up along- side the sca-rusted tramp there was & miniature Donnywrook Pair going on forward in her fore with knives and belaying taking the place of the Capt. Hallock historic and bh men arrested thirteen, after which quiet reigned Of course the bigge of all disas- ters in which the Putrol played a eading role was the burning of the excursion steamer General Slocum. When the word came that the was burning and beached on Brother Island Capt. £ his boat up the had ever t ly Dean raced st River faster than velled before. There she was little that could do in the way of rescue after she reached the excursion boat, bi ipee: weeks, day and night, with ha t moment for rest. ‘he Patsy's” crew worked on the gruesome task bodies of the yicuims found and tescued between 600 700. 100,000 blaze nd wharves ot of Pioneer the Putrol had just finished painting her. men never forgave him. Of course anybody who has been reading the papers since the soldiers began coming home from knows what the Patrol night, guarding the waterfront bases of the piers of the four big bridges. Rumor had it that the Germans were attempting to blow up these bridges. If they ever plotted such a thing the, Patrol's patrol balked them. At thag time the Patrol carried mounted on her deck twd one-pound- ler rapid-fire guns ang four Colt’s automatics. In all the Patrol met and welcomed 730 troopships carrying approxi- mately 1,348,700 returning soldiers. Later on as all the world began using New York's port as the entry | gate to the United States, and the big men of Europe came here in swarms, the Patrol came into her own, She weloomed “Papa Joffre,” Field Marshal of France and victor of the Marne, when he came as head | of the French Commission. She was first of New Yorkers to greet the King and Queen of the Belgians, Cardinal Mercier, the King of Abye- sinia, the President of Brazil and the Prince of Wales. She's some grand Tittle hand-shaker, the Patrol. ‘That's why her crew and the other members of the force dre wondering | what is to be done with her now; that her day has past, and she is to! be superseded by the Penobecot, | turned over to the Police Department by the Navy at the price of $1, in| recognition of the gallant work done by Hallock and his men in_the icy breakers off the Rockaway Coast, in rescuing the people on the Princess Anne. “You can say what you please,” said Lieut. Daubert, shaking his head, “that boat's got sense, good sense and instinct, and I hate to see the last of her. They'll have to go some to beat the old Patsy.” The Jarr Family By Roy L. McCardell.
