Michigan Boatman Explains a Mysteri-,
ous Disappearance
Detroit, Mich., Feb. 19.—Leo Kelly. I
director general of Portage Uke, has
solved one of tihe oldest of mysteries.
Kelly operates the motor boat ferrv !
service. A few weeks ago he observed :
a tnysterious disappearance of gasoline i
from his reserve tank in the boat. Each j
night a gallon or more gasoline disap- 1
peffred.
Kelly searched for leaks, tested his
valves and could not find the cause of
the shrinkage in the supply. He began i
to suspect that some oue was pilfering
during the night.
Watching his vessel to learn the j
i-nuse of the loss of gasoline he heard i
an odd sound under the keel, anil cast- j
iug his light down to the surfave of the !
water he saw large pickerel sucking;
the gasoline from the escape pipe of !
the water line.
