SMUGGLING OPIUM.
4 LUCRATIVE BUSINESS FOR FIRE
MES AND CoAL-PAsiE Ks.

There Is a story passing around
which, if true, proves that several
firemen and coal-passers on the
steamer Australia are making
money rapidly by smuggling
opium. The story is to the effect
that the members of the crew of
the Australia have been dealing in
the drug for a long time. They
had an agent here to sell the stuff
in the person of Charles Leonard,
an ex-hackman. The agent made
good returns for several trips, but
when his principals returned to
town some months ago they found
that Leonard had left, and, it is
alleged, he carried away about
$1,000 of their money, which he
had obtained by selling their
opium. He took passage for San
Francisco on a sailing vessel, but
he did not get there ahead of the
men he had done up.
The men waited in San Fran
cisco for Leonard, and when the
vessel carrying him was sighted
they hired a boat and went out to
meet him. They got aboard and
grabbed the ex-hackman and, after
he received a good beating, he
handed out about SOCIAL the
money he had.
Of course the public would like
to know how the $1,000 worth of
opium got ashore, but they will
have to wait for an explanation.
That the crew of the Australia
deal N the contraband article, no.
body seems to deny, and the fol-
lowing will prove that opium is
coming to this port all the time,
but the oldest inhabitant cannot
remember when a seizure was made
on the Oceanic dock.
This is taken from the S. F. Ex-
aminer of a late date:
Inspector McGinnis made a
lucky catch this afternoon, half an
hour before the steamer Australia
left the dock for Honolulu. He
was exploring the lower regions OF
the ship in company with Inspector
Sprague when his attention was at
tracted by an unusual pile of rub
bish about the water tank of the
fireroom. Probing led to the un-
covering of 140 pounds of opium
without the proper revenue stamps.
1t was mostly domestic stuff, on
which the manufacture duty is SIC
a pound. The attempt to furnish
smoke for the Chinese of Hawaii
was attributed to the fremen, but
as no evidence was obtainable no
arrests were made"
A member of the crew of the
Australia tells funny story about
the. custom house officers. When
the vessel is in port an officer pa.
trolls the dec!, looking for opium
When some of it is ready to be
landed, a confederate ct the bow
throws log of wood overheard. II
makes a loud splash and the noise
at once attracts the attention of the
sharp-eyed customs official, who
Immediately runs forward to SEE
what it is all about. While he is
absent, boat puts out from the
stern of the vessel with load o
opium which had been lowered with
a rope. If the opium is not landed
| in this manner it must be brough
| ashore through some other channe
las the drug seems to be plentiful
about Chinatown, judging from thu
present price, which is considered
low.
