Drunk Crew Carouses
As Rum Ship Scuppers
Run Deep in Whisky
NEW YORK, Oct. 13.—Under
close ( guard, the Norwegian stegmer
Saga find is anchored off Shndy Ijlook
today, with her captain and crew
of thirty-two locked below, and her
decks strewn with 43,000 cases of
whisky.
The coast guard cutters Seneca
and Raritan captured the rum ship
forty miles off the coast, Sunday,
after firing three shots across her
bow.
They found whisky sloshing about
on the deck, two sailors snoring
drunkenly. in the wheelhouse, the
other thirty members of the crew
in their bunks, and the captain lock
ed in his cabin.
All aboard were stupefied from
liquor except three men whose jaws
were broken. One man, flushed with
fever, called for water. His leg was
broken three days before in a fight.
The rest of the crew, cursing a.nd
staggering from drink, Were herded
from the forecastle to the deck. Not
a man among them had a whole
garment on his body. Two of them
had their arms.in crude slings. Thfcy
had been broken, they explained,
in one of the nightly battles.
The captain was taken from his
cabin, where he had locked himself
with the ships armament, twelve
rifles and half a dozen pistols. He
told revenue officers his crew of
Norwegians, Swedes and Russians
had caroused and fought every day
since the Sagatlind cleared, Septem
ber 18, from Antwerp.
His papers showed the ship had
left Antwerp with h cjirgo of 100,-
000 cases of assorted liquors, of
which they had sold 47,000 since
arriving on rum row. The clumsy
iron safe in his cabin held $26,000
In American money, the receipts of
the sale of the whisky.
