Blazed

Into Bermuda's port of Hamilton one day last week steamed the Monarch of Bermuda, bearing 350 General Electric refrigerator salesmen and other passengers and crew. That night (it was balmy) a member of the crew stealthily entered the home of Mrs. Gustav Pagenstecher. Mrs. Pagenstecher awoke with a scream, cried out that she was being attacked. Her maid heard, dashed to the rescue. The intruder transferred his attentions to her. The maid, quick-witted, seized a hatchet, which by chance Mrs. Pagenstecher had in her bedroom, and with a blow on the head drove the man from the house.

Next morning Mrs. Pagenstecher & maid went to the police. Their assailant, said they, was slim, young, pale. His demeanor, even during the process of attempted assault was not discourteous. Perhaps he was a waiter or a steward. Accompanied by the police Mrs. Pagenstecher & maid went aboard the Monarch of Bermuda. Hiding in his berth they found one Peter Paul Jencius, 18. On his head was the hatchet mark that Mrs. Pagenstecher's maid had blazed.
