8T. PIER-RI, Mid. Doc 8—Thc motor-ship Kromhoutb dramatic ; dash seaward with four men of her captor patrol boat aboard was des- cribed by her skipper tonight as an emergency that saved his liqu- or-laden era-ft from destruction in a storm driving her towards the Cape Breton coast.

From the 8t. Pierre jail when he and his crew were being detainbd Capt. Ross Mason sent word to the Kromhoutw home Port of Lunen- burg denying the police report that his men had cut away from the patrol boat Stumble Inn you- terday morning.

Stress of weather, the veteran saaman decla-Wd, had snapped the long inwline twice-Mic second time while the vessels were close to shore.

It was blowing hard, he said, and he drove for the open sea to keep off the rocks.

While the Lunenburg Ca tau-l and his aight msn yemain in Jail, Canadian polica were consid- ering plans to bring them back t0 Canada for trial. No charges had been laid tonight against the im- prisoned men, but there were in. dications of an early attempt to haxrl/e them retuned to Canadian so .

Officials of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police who admhiilter the Customs Preventive Service, receiv- ad reports which said the towllne had been cut, the reports from $110 ltiunble ‘s officers differ- ad from Capt. Mama's version 1n othar ruqiects.

Where the Lunenbupg 53199;: said his craft had been hailed first 13 Illllﬂ Ofﬁhon, (he cpggtgug-g; held the cutter had mat the ship bltwoen nine and ten miles from lM-Yiavt. Mason claimed the act- ual seizure had been made 38 miles from the coast.

“We are a. civilization as distinct as any in the world." he said. "The Canadian civillaation is distinct from all others."

It was this fact, coupled with Canadas position, midway between the Occidqnt and Orient, spanning the northern half of America, which gave this country an influ- ena only 0n the size of its popu- lation.
