"AN insane man who got Into my pilothouse and tried to force me to run down and sink an other boat gave me the narrowest squeak of my life," said the captain of a North river ferryboat "Sunday I was working extra and was given the Job to run an excursion party from West Forty-second street, s New York, to College Point. We had on board 1,500 excursionists. The boot was one of the old sidewbeelers. Intruder In the Pilot House. "I was alone in the pilothouse when I beard some one enter the door behind me, and a man's voice asked: " How many people have yon on this boat? 'Thinking he teas one of the government Inspectors, I answered that the boat was not overloaded, for she was rated to carry something over 2,000 people. " Well,' said the man, '1,800 isn't many, bat we'll send that many to the bottom of the river anyway.' Big Man and Crazy. "At that the man stepped np beside me, and i got a look at him. He was a big man, about six feet two Inches in height As soon as I got a look Into his eyes I knew that be was not an Inspector, bat an insane man. 1 knew instinctively that 1 was no match for him physically, bat 1 didn't i show any fear. In bis hand the maA held a fire ax. "'Bee that boat coming up the river?* asked the crazy man. 'The boat at which be pointed was another excursion steamer bound up the North river.
