WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 16, 1924 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.

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. . .
