C., Nov. 28.—The four masted British schooner Veronica was under command of a band of armed liquor pirates for three weeks before if was deserted and left drifting, a ripple of the seas crying for help, it was reported here when the craft was ‘owned into port. The master of the schooner and the •wo supercargoes refused to talk, but, hg, mate, a Scotchman who claimed years of service on the seven seas, told a story of modern pirates, compared to whom, he said oriental pirates of him e sea, with whom he had come i.contact, were “gentlemen.” According to the mate, the Yer nica was boarded on October 24 off Hantahk Point by 15 men who came s'ensihly to purchase liquor with ' i-h he said the craft was loaded. When they were aboard, the mate re ’ 'tf‘d. the men covered the crew with Hob:. 'Taking complete charge of their ’ ' Urn bi-jackors proceeded to enn dwt a wholesale liquor business with mall craft, the mate said, until near v all the*cargo was sold.” -yliLjuJe i he - pirates were, in command, t was said, the officers were kept 'ocked in the chain locker and the crew was forced under threat of violence 'o assist, in disposing of the cargo. Ee ry night, i was reported, the entire tew was locked in a compartment and kept, under guard until morning. Then after crippling the qogines of •he vessel, smashing her compass, chronometer and other instruments by which she might he guided to port the nirates went over the side as casually is they had arrived, leaving their vic j’imr. an aimless hulk at the mercy of I the elements. The mate said the Veronica drifted about, her officers unable to take their I bearings. until flares and rockets they ; sent up every night were seen by the hu r President Harding Wednesday ' night, three davs after they had been ■as* loose by their captors. When the Veronica arrived here to night it was reported that not a drop He water remained aboard and that he supply of provisions was very low. | rhampaigne and whiskey had been "•;od by the crew to assuage their ‘h'l- t in the absence of water, it was The crew of the schooner, mostly foreigners who could sneak little Eng ! ’’sh, said that they had shipped on the : Veronica four months ago to Bremen, . ostensibly for a cruise to Morocco. They said, however, that they had not seen land since the day of their : ■.ailing’. They reported enormous hard ships at the hands of the pirates. When the craft dropped anchor to j night customs officers sealed up the ' remaining liquor. No estimate was | available of the value of the cargo ! which had been looted, or the amount the pirates received for what they had sold over the side.
