Smugglers Once Filled The Teapots

Smuggling diamonds from Am- sterdani, cigarettes front the Unit- ed States. or merely trying to slip I trinket through customs, can be expensive or lucrative depending on the smugglcr's ability to re- maln undetected! Chances of 'gct- ting away with it' in these days are remote, however. so that smug- gling on a grand scale is out of fashion.

Not so very long ago sniuggliug was a F('SI)('(.tC(I and extremely profitable operation. Who today, for example. would think of sniuggl- lug a few ounces of tea at the risk of being caught and banged? And yet. there was a time when heavily taxed tea. which had be- come very popular in England, was the favourite stock in trade of English smugglers. From all around the southern coats of Eng-

St. Patrick'I Day. . in the morn- ing! It is believed. history has it. that St. Patrick was born (the year of his birth variesi near the site of what is now Dumbarton, Scotland. At the age of sixteen he was taken captive to Ireland. bu.t.after six years he escaped. Feeling himself called to abolish paganism from the land of his captivity, be stud- ied for the ministry, was consec- rated bishop of Ireland, and be- gan his missionary work there in 432. It is said that he founded 300 churches in that island and bap- tized more than 12.000 'convertI. He left an autobiography which be called "A Confession" but it was more psychologic than historic and the l.-nown facts of his life are few. Legend says that he drove the siiakcs out of Ireland. and that he worked miracles. The IIINIIS of his breastplate, good and ('iIII'i('L'l'aled man that he WIIS. wi-rc high. "1 hind uiuo myself today.

land, but particularly from the beautiful, wild. rocky shores of Cornwall. srn all English boats would sneak mil after dark to rendezvous with Dutch sailing boats lying offshore. The smug- glers would return to hundreds oil tiny bays and coves with cases. of tea to be stored in well hidden caves.

Tea smuggling uas broiiglii to a fine art. for the caves were cleverly ventilated to keep the tea from spoiling. Underground pass- ages and tunnels led from the caves to old. little-used roads and paths. and along these paths tea. as well as tobacco, brandy and silk. was carried all over the country on the backs of sturdy pon- tea and in small carts. In fact. so many agricultural workers were using their carts and their time hauling smuggled tea across the country that crops were neglect- ed! Well they might be. for the return from farming was trifling compared to the financial results of a successful smuggling trip. ALI. SHARED

Smuggled tea reached llte homes of both the humble and the rich. It has been recorded that even such a righteous man as Parson Woodforde bought tea from a smuggler much as we do from a grocer. An entry in his diary reads "Andrews. the smuggler. brought me this night about eleven o'clock I bag of Iiyson ten. six pounds weight. He frightened us R little by whistling under the parlour wind- ow Just In we were going to bed. I gave him some Geneva and paid him for the tea at ten shillings and sixpence per pound".

The Government of the day was almost powerless. In spite of their numbers. the law enforcement of- ficers were hindered by every man. woman and child Ilong the coast who all helped the smugglers on every possible occasion. Even the clergy permitted smugglers to hide their goods in the crypts of church- es I I were among their best cust- ornera.

Today. of course, there is no necessity to smuggle tea. The Can- adian tea industry blends and park nearly fifty million dollars worth every year. Ilmoai all of which comes fmm our .-litter Comman- wenlfh members-India and Ceylon.
