BOLD ROBBERY AT SEA.
Sailors Steal Several Thousand Pounds
and Then Desert.
(London Mall.)
Particulars' are to hand of a daring
and cleverly executed robbery on board 1
a German liner plying between China
and Japai and England, by which a
Chip's mall was 'broken open and seve?
ral, thousands of pounds abstracted.
'X'he details of the conspiracy, which
'was carried out by three German sai?
lors, have transpired through the arrest
at Vienna of one of ithe conspirators,
Who had deserted from his ship, and,
rwMh his ehare of -the plunder, managed
Pp 'o. roundabout way to reach the Aus
-;'itrlan capital. .There he confided to a
v'-rvaiter that ho had a larire sum of
jtionoy and wished t>i statt in business,
nut a detective, noticing' that the sai?
lor seemed extraordinarily "llush" of
money, and observing him chnnge .1
hundred-florin note In a cafe, arrested
him .111 suspicion of being concerned in
a robbery. The sal Vor eventually con?
fessed to being a participator, though
not direc tly, in the great robbery on
board 'the ship, his shave of the plunder
bavin:; boon given to him as "hush
money," He was examined on oath and
bis evidence disclosed .that a very care?
fully planned rubbery had taken place.
According to his story, two of the {bai?
lors took him Into their confidence and
imparted to him 'the secret of gaining
access to the mail rOTra on the shin
and which contained consignments of
specie for English llrms. It was ar?
ranged before itlie vessel sailed that if
any gold were taken on board the mail
room should he broken ln:'> and the
money abstracted. The doors of mail
rooms are locked automatically with a
spring when .pushed to, but the robbers,
the ringleader i t whom has, It is seated,
been at ;hc game before, succeeded In
Overcoming the obstacle. Tin; bolts of
the folding doors -wore nil secretly dis?
placed so effectually that, although
the door was afterward closed !>y the
?oilleer, it did hol prevent anyone from
raising the door from the outside. On
the night or the tli-ft the rlnglcad r
reached the folding door by climbing
likoillic sail cal in through a trap in the
deck. He then unlocked a iv.len
den- leading into >tho cargo hold, which
was separated from the mail room by
tiie folding door, which he then raised,
and so gained access into the mail
room.
The sailor, who has been arrested, and
who has given this accjurvt of the rot,
bsry, was on watch during the theft.
He says he dors not know how the ring?
leader broke open tho box containing
the motley, but he admits that the
j ringleader toW him he had. an impres?
sion of the sea-Is and that ho could
rhoke them again. The weight of lh<
?box when emptied of Its content- was
made up by refilling It with bullets,
which ail three perpetrators had se?
cretly 'brought on board before leav?
ing port. Tin; arrested sailor says ho
was in such terrible, fear thai during
the two hours or his watch when he was
not steering he had ito lie down in the
rudder house and net as 'though he
were asleep. Subsequently ho saw Hie
ringleader, who told him ;h it lrr had
been working at the theft during the
whole four hours of 4he watch. He
also t'.dd the prisoner that bis share
of the gold was secretly hidden in 'thq
rudder house, and described where
lid could lindf t. ami later on *.-. , rls
oner did find his booty, tis directed.

money ?p in lila oilskin and kept it in
