without getting to the Messenger of
peace that night A boat from
Portsmouth, N. C., took him to the
liquor veaael and he went aboard her.
"wo whites and aaeaa blacks manned
he schooner. She waa a seaworthy
ship. The whiskey on her waa made
in sundry parts of America. It had
been consigned to San Piers with the
Bahama Islanda aa a setting out
point. But that awful wind came up
and sent her into North Carolina.
Mr. Kohloss, on investigation, found
that the winds have had a habit of
blowing Captain Coleman and his aa
•oristea into t>at part aI North Caro
lina. Hitherto the galea have been a
little more considerate and have not
sent the ahipmen aground. But the
Meaaenger of Peace waa not in an un
chartered sea. It made Haelf very
much at home.
The ship cannot get away and in
time will be taken to Wilmington.
The government will go amply Into
the case. If It should tun' out that
San Piers really la entitled to the
boote and theee men were hi good

is nothing to do but to turn the whole
