foreign ports, and that seldom visit oar harbor.-
These vessels are boarded ct night by one Of the
gang. who noiselessly casts into the water small
anchors, heavy bound blocks, email chain cables,
hswsers, ogwood, pig iron, and any other articles
that will sink and after the vessel has left the
port, the articles are raised again by means of
ersppIiIg rous, and sold with the most perfect i'm
purity.
