Watch Your Boats. 
Evidently the gang of boat thieves that were 
so active on Long Island Sound all last summer 
have commenced operations early. A new 
dinghy was cut from the davits of the yacht 
Albion, lying off City Island, on the night of 
the 14th. 
A suspicious looking boat had been seen in 
the harbor during the day and was missing next 
morning. The police of City Island are looking 
for this crew. 
The dinghy was a 14-foot cedar and mahog¬ 
any bright finish—a very handsome boat. 
Albion belongs to the fleet of the Larch- 
mont Y. C. and is owned by James G. Wilson.
