AT WESTHOLME THEATRE

e —_ ——

“What Happéned on the 'Bar-
buda,”’ the three-act drama at the
Westhohme, is a stirring tale of
the scuttling of a stip by a gang
of crooks, who have signed on as

passenger on board. After cap-
turing the ship and locking the

taking the girl as cook. She drugs
the coffee, putting the gang to
sleep, and gets aboard the ship
and releases the. captives. Blue-
jackets come on the scene; the
crooks are arrested, and all that
is needed is a parson, for a young
officer has been captured by the
heroine.

sible for ships to navigate in these
waters without a pilot. The Brit-
