CHASING RUM RUNNERS OFF NEW
YORK IS EXCITING OCEAN SPORT
(Continued From Page One)
that the eyes of the gusners might |
he dazzled. »
But she did not halt.
“Resume Fire!''
Once more that calm, even voice
rnag out, as inexorable as fate ’
“Wham!"
The 4-inch gun again roared its
command to halt. ;
High over the head of the flee
ing boat, a puff of fleecy white
appeared where an instant before
had been but blue sky.
To the front of the target spurts
of water flew high in the air.
To right— to left—to stern—the
same miniature geysers sprang into
being.
“Cease Firing!”
Again the fugitives were given
a lease of life.
Slowly the motor boat came
about.
Like some shy thing of the wild
she timidly approached the Sene
ca bobbing up and down on the
waters of the Atlantic.
Silently, the only sound the put
put Os her motor, she drew abeam.
“Come alongside aft and come
aboard.”
A brief “Aye, Aye, Sir!” camp
fiom one of the bedraggled figures
crouched in the cockpit of the mo
tor boat.
Blue-clad'sailors lined th c rail of
the Seneca. The sun glinted on
the rifles in their hands. Around
their waists, khaki ammunition
belts contrasted strangely with the
unfamiliar blue. .Sly grins creas
ed their lips.
Two dirty, unshaven, unkempt
figure's climbed over the stern of
th e Seneca. One of them had to
b e helped. His knees would hard
ly support hi s weight.
The other, still defiant, and
grinning, remarked:
“Rotten shootin’. Youse guys
couldn’t hit the side of a barn. Say
whose got a pill?”
Uncl e Sanr had collared two
more illicit visitors to the rum fleet.
I had been fortunate enopgh to
witness at first hand the work of
' the guardians of sea coast adjacent
to New York..
Drab, official reports convey lit
tle of the inside of rum chasing.
The Seneca had been patroliiig
the waters just inside the 12-milc
limit.
She had encountered 10 members
of the rum fleet.
But in the absence of any of
ficial sanction of the new 12-milc
treaty with Britain, th e Sene
ca had merely passed by checking
up on the position of the variou
boats.
It was when she came up to the
Catherine Mary, a vessels of Brit
ish registry, that the race of the
fleeing suspects began.
The two men were aboard the
Catherine Mary. Their boat was
moored alongside.
With the arrival of the Seneca,
two figures were seen to leap into
ihe small craft.
Like a bullet fiom a rifle, they
shot away, keeping the Catherine
Mary between them and thc Sene
ca. Quickly the Seneca started in
pursuit.
But her 11 knots an hour made
a losing race of its against the mo
tor boat’s 20. -
That was why the Seneca resort
ed to her guns.
After the capture and arrest of
the motor boat, she and the two
prisoners were sent into New York,
the men to tell their story to the
United States commissioner, and
the boat to await the outcome of
her owners’ troubles.

FARMERS ARE TOLD TO
LOOK OVER PASTURES
Farmers in Sumter county should
look after their pastures, fences
and work usually classed as “odds
and ends,” at this tima, according
to George O. Marshall, who says
that one of the drawbacks to prof
itable farming is' the press of worl?
during April, May and June, said
lack of employment during Deceni
ber, January and February,
“Since every minute is needed
idurinf April, May and June, said
j Marshall today, it is good farming
| business to take time during Decern-1
jber, January and February to do I
| some of the work often done dur
: ing April, May and Juae. For in-
I stance, a fence will break down

busy that he cannot see how he ear. i
take the time to fix it, but why not I
| look over the pasture fence now and :
prepare for next Maylg, busy time j
hby seeing that it will not break >
down then.
“A plow poipt is going to need !

es of the crowd from start to finish
At end of the half the score was

when Silver; and Johnson did such
fine guarding, while there was no
slow playing on the part of" Misses
Cargill and Rylander, centers.
There is no doubt that Chole Dav
enport saved the day during the last \
quarter, throwing three goals, and

ing.

like regular varsity men.

"Come, come, children!" Mr.
Dinwiddie was. rubbing his Imnds
at the end ot the covered
with blue china and mounds of
home-made cake. “Stop quarrel
ing and sit down. Anywhere. No
! ceremony here.”
Some of the guests were In their
seats. The others fairly swooped
into theirs, entirely regardless ot
anything so uneatable as neigh
bors. Mrs. Larsing, a tall, red
haired, raw-boned New England
woman, had entered, bearing an
enormous platter of fried trout,
fresh from the lake. Larsing,
burnt almost as dark as an Indian,
followed with aiplate of potatoes
boiled in their jackets balanced on
one hand, and a small mountain
of johnny cake on the other. He
returned in a moment with two
large platters of sliced ham and
void boiled beef, and the guests
I were “left to wait on themselves.
The dinner was tbo gayest Mary
had ever attended, for even the
Sophisticates, ho'wevor lively, pre
served a certain formality in town ,
when she was present, at all
events » Itollo To?!:! broke into
periodical war whoops, to Mr Din-
Aiddie's man.fest delight. The
others burst into song, while wait
ing for'the traveling platters. Eva
Darling got up twice and danced
by herself, her pale bobbed head
and little white face eerily sus
pended in the dark shadows of the
gregt roopt. Other feet moved ir
resistibly under the tabic. Good
stories multiplied, and they laugh
ad uncontrollably at tile worst of
the jokes.
They drank little, for the supply
was limited, but tr.e altitude was
four thousand feet and the thin
iight air went to their heads. They
were New Yorkers suddenly »
snatched from the most fevegjsh
pitch of modern civilization, but
□ o less primitive in soul thaji
wooijsmen who bad never 'seen a
city, and the men would have liked
to put op war paint and run
through the forest with toma
hawks. . w
Todd, when the dinner was over,
did seize a tomahawk from the
wall, drape himself in an Indian
blanket, and march up and down
the room roaring out terrific bat
tle cries. Three minutes later.
Minor and Bolton had followed his
example, and marched solemnly
behind him. brandishing their
weapons and making unearthly
noises. Mary, from her chair by
the hearth, watched them curious
ly. At first it was merely the ex
uberant spirits of their reluwse and
the unaccustomed altitude’,bat in
spired them, but their, counte
nances grew more and more som
ber, their eyes wilder, their voices
more war-like. They were no long
er doing a stunt, they were atavis
tic. Their voices reverberated
across the lake.
One by one -the other men had
joined thorn, until even Mr. Dinwid
dle was in the procession marching
with load stamping feet round and
round the big room. The cries be
came shorter, menacing, abrupt,
imperative. The high lamps cast
strange shadows on their lost
faces. The voices grew hoarse,
dropped to low growls, their faces
changed from ferocity to a njourn
ful solemnity until they looked even
more UJce primal men than before;
but they continued their marching
and stamping until Gora, who, with
the other women, had begun to
fear that tire rhythm -would bring
down the house, had the inspira
tion to insert a Caruso disk into the
victrola; and as those immortal
notes flung themselves imperiously
across that wild scene, the primi
tive in the men dropped like a
leaden plummet, and they threw
themselves on the floor by the fire.
I But they smoked thuir pipes in
i silence. They had had something
that no woman.could give them nor
share, and there was an ungallant
wish in every manly heart that
they had left the women at home.
Caruso was succeeded by Emma
Eames, and tho great lost diva by
I Farrar and Scotti. Then, the con
i cert over, a yawning party stum
i bled upstairs to bed and not a
! sound was heard from them until
' the first bell rang at seven o’clock
i next morning. . .
