When the ship got to New York they were sent to Elis Island. He contacted a skin infection there. It was a place where immigrants were sent. He got away , and stowed away again on one of the largest ships at that time , the AQUITANIA From New York to Southampton. When the ship got near to shore he dived off and swam to shore to avoid being picked up. A police speed boat picked him up and took him to Bow Street jail . My Dad had to go to bail him out. He'd sent a message to Alfie to say ( come home mother very ill ) actually she had already died , but wanted to tell him in person. When my dad explained the situation to the Police they let Alfie go. It was in the newspaper. ( Plucky English Boy Dives Off The Aquitania To See Dying Mother )".
