GT.OUCE6TEU, N. Sept. 80.-Crowds
of people have come her?,- anxious lo see
the sea serpent that chased Captain Pickle
in Howell's Cove on Friday evening. Al
an carly hour yesterday every soil and row
boat in Gloucester and Knign's Point had
been chartered and scores of whitc-v.ingcd
craft sailed down froni tho city. Th? ob
jective point of these boah was Howell's
Cove and vicinity, and thc hope that ani
mated most of their occupants was the hope
of killing or :.i least seeing thc ularbie
monster. .Many of the people who weet
out in the sailboats took rifles end shot
guns with thom, and many of tin m carried
Jong bout hocks and old rusty harpoons.
At one- time tho broad expanse of wate r lie
low Gloucester waa fairly alive with lioats,
Some continued thc search below Chi iser,
but ut dark they all returned without hav
ing been rewarded with even ti gltmpso of
his snake-hip. Captain Eckley, of Die
yacht Lily, w ho saw thc serpent below the
month of tho Schuylkill, on Saturday
morning, started uta in search of him early
yesterday morning and had not returned u*t
a late hour last night. When ?io left llb ex
pressed tho intention of going IIS far US the

Whether any of Ibo crews which came up
the river yesterday had met thc inonsti r el
liot. Captain Pickle v, a? plied all day long
with questions, ano as he- is now regarded
as a sort of hero ho was obliged to refuse:
moro Invitations to " lake sutilin' " than Im
probably ever bsforo received. His old
spy-gloss was Inconstant demand, as was
every other spy glass in Gloucester, iron
aide bar was under scrutiny as long us the
light lasted, and every ow.iel- of a Spy-glass
was surrounded by a group of c urious peo
plo as long as he would c uiscut to scan thc
water.

Hie alarm signal WOS rung i.i the prison h ;
thu first time in many years, and ia au in
stant deputy keepers and guards crowded
luto the brush shop whence li.'. ..?arm caine.
'Ujbey found James Driscoll, a powerful
convict, in one coiner near the elevator,
armed with a heavy chisel and a loiig needle.
In front of bim stood two deputy keeper.?
covering bim wiih their heayy revolvers,
Tho bead ku per stepped u:> to Driscoll
uudsuld: ''Driscoll, ii you dou't lay lb< bi
things down in flvo minutes wc w ;!i shoot."
"Shoot and be hanged, i will have ene
lite anyway." replied Driscoll doggedly.
The keeper held his watch in hi^ hand mid
told off tile minutes OS they pissed.
"< lue- t wo-three-four
"Don'lshoot," nt this moment interposed
Prison Inspector Cartwright, who was an
eye-witness Of the ?-cene, and whose word
is law in ibo prison; "give him time to
consider." Arguments were used in In
duce Driscoll lo surrender, but without
success. Again did Iuspcclor Cartwright
say, .Don t -hoot.'' Finally, realizing timi
hat sh measures would have io bo resorted
to, ho ? tarted lo leave, the room, but as ho
cita cd thc door ho changed his mini:, arni
rei trued with thc di termination to pr?vi nt
bh-i dsbed. "Hold on; walt a nw mont,"
bc said, as ho advanced tewan! Driscoll,
despite the. efforts of tho keep* rs lo restrain
him. ''Now, look here, young mau," Said
thc inspector, tis he stood within live fc-ol
of tlie prisoner, "Von nrcfctlirowlug your
lifo away. Do you know nie'.' ' "So. 1
don't know you, und 1 don't u ri to know
vo i, answered Driscoll us ho brandished
bis weapons. "I tun ono of the Inspectors,
an 1 lt ls my duty to protect you. That i
wh : i um here fer. My name ls Cart.

"ir your name i-> Cartwright, you have
gi I a goo?! name in this prison. If you
will si nd these bounds rtway from here I
wi.I go tinywhorc with you, said Driscoll.
:i- : i li ok both weapon?? in his left hand
un ! allowed tho Inspector to take him by
tho right. Alter nearly every olllclal had
left the room, Driscoll laid down thc
weapons and walked quietly with the In
specter lo tho roi.!:?d.i. On tho way the
Inspector ti Id him that he had committed
a Very grave crime and that ho would have
to be punished for i'.. "But," said thc lu
H\ ctor, "1 will seo lhat you arc not tor
ture' l."
Driscoll was then handcuffed and pina ri
in the dungeon, and ls HOW feeding Oil
lavad and water. The immediate cause ol
Driscoll's revolt was on order of Deputy
keeper Ashley for him to slop singing,
which bc refused toohey. Driscoll has tho
reputation of ticing vcr} unruly. Ho hits
