Early motion pictures, p. 221; AFI catalog, film beginnings, 1893-1910, p. 730; Edison films catalog, no. 185, Oct., 1903, p. 9. Camera, James Blair Smith, Edwin S. Porter. Photographed May 10, 1903. Location: Upper New York Bay. Probably filmed in the southern part of the Bay looking towards the Narrows, with Fort Lafayette partly visible in the far background. "The "Patrol" is seen chasing a row-boat containing river pirates. The pirates are pulling at the oars with all their strength, but a few shots from the Police Boat weaken their nerves and they give up. When the "Patrol" comes up near them, it lowers a dory and a number of policemen make the capture. As the pirates are landed on the Police Boat a fierce fight takes place between them and the police, but the latter overcome the offenders and land them safely on the boat.
