iRum Vessels Unchecked

East Point Said to be the ~ Base From Which i‘ Schooners Have Been Distributing Booze to the Thirsty for Several Days Past.

l. "me activity of two rum schooners off the east end of the Island dur-

‘ ing the past few days.- and the fact. that these asaels are operating un- molested by any revenue cutters, is I the subject of talk everywhere l throughout Kings County. This in- ’ formation was received by the . Guardian from a prominent Liberal -' ident o! the County. who filled his disgust at the callous indifference of the federal author- " ltiu to safeguard the Island coast, "andat the hypocisy which charact-

erlses the whole transaction. The rum runners he stated zspeclflcally, have been using East vlloiut as a base for the past three or four days. They move down as liaras ltusflco and across to Cape! Sear“. and are seldom long in any one position. Since the Customs ' Qriliser Margaret has been requisit- isoed to convey the Minister oi Customs and party on a tour ‘throughout time provinces there has been no sign, of any revenue vessel in the vicinity of the Island ‘where protection is moat needed. The rum vessels. even with the Margaret and other oustomsboats patrolling the coast. were seldom caught. They generally have New- foundland registration papers and cannot be takur outsida the three- mile limit. They are usually ex- tremely cautious, and operate with the assistance of a code of pre- lmnitd signals from the shore. At Present. however. they an appar- ihilv in no fear of capture. and are trainees
