Prison escape tale and river chase across New York streets
A boy recounts escape from the House of Refuge after burglary charges. He tells of climbing from a fourth floor window, swimming past Randall’s Island and College Point Dock, dodging police with a flashlight, ending aboard a dock then returning home. The tale mixes parole rebellion with sensational river defense and a later note on transport speeds versus Lusitania routes.
