FROM OFFICERS
I Schooner, Name Un-
;nown, Reported to Have
$50,000 Cargo, bails
Reported to have aboard a cargo of
whiskey estimated to be worth ap
proximately $50,000, and suspected of
having violated the prohibition laws
over the. Cape Fear river bar at South- i
port, an auxiliary schooner of 150 tons,
which has been acting rather myste
riously off the nearby coast, is under
stood to have sailed in a northerly di
rection Monday night.
Local prohibition officers report that
this Is the same boat that is alleged to
have landed 50 cases of bottled in bond
whiskey at Wrlghtsville Beach several
weeks ago.
- N. E. Raines, prohibition nent, of
Raleigh, accompanied by Deputy Mar
shal Smith, of this city, went to South
port Tuesday morning in quest of the
suspicious vessel, hut on arrival learn
ed that the vessel sailed the night be
fore for the north.
It is stated that for several days the
"boat had been anchored off the three
mile limit, and that at night some of
the cargo was brought ashore in small
boats. The officers reported that they
were unable to locate any of the whis
key in or around Sotuhport. but re-,
ports at that place would indicate that
a considerable quantity was lauded in
the vicinity.
The federal officers also made a
search for a large still that was re
ported in operation on Bald island and
Smith's island, across from Southport,
but they succeeded in finding only a
Quantity of beer.
It has been known locally for several
days that the prohibition authorities
were after this vessel. United States
Marshal George H. Bellamy having
wired to Raleigh Saturday morning; for
the prohibition agents to como to Wil
mington for the purpose of capturing
the boat oft Southport.
Because of the fact that the name of
the boat was unknown, as were the
names of the men aboard who were al
leged to have violated the prohibition
statutes, no warrant could be obtained
locally for the confiscation of Jhe boat
and cargo. The officers made the trip
from this city to Southport in an auto
mobile. It was thought at one time that the
toast guard cutter Seminole, now lying
, In port here, would take the prohibi
tion officers down the river to caoture
the suspected boat, but no order for this
cruise by the cutter were ever receiv
ed, and probably none will be received,
it was reported aboard the cutter yes
terday, for the reason that the coast
guard service is more concerned with
violations of the revenue laws than U
is over infractions of the prohibition
laws, unless there is come question of
revenue violations. The application of
these two laws, it is pointed out, are
in the hands of two separate depart
ments. Marshal Bellamy reported yesterday
that he did not know the nationality
of the schooner, but presumed that she
was sailing from Bermuda, or some
other West Indian port. Mariners at
Southport gave the prohibition agents
a good description of the vessel, de
scribing her as a two-mast, auxiliary
schooner, of about 150 tons capacity.
This infomation has been sent to near
by ports along the coast, and may re
sult in . capture of the craft, in event
a landing of the balance of the cargo
Is attempted.
There are only three prohibition of-
fleers in this district. Marshal Bellamy
reported yesterday, but it Is very prob
able, he said, that this number would
be materially increased, since the new
fiscal years of the department having
the enforcement of this law in charge.
Just started recently.
