PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Aug. THE
elimination of one of the most startling
and sensational affairs in the history of
Puget sound smuggling occurred here
when Cinnamon named Ling Sing was
taken into custody on the charge of SNUG
CLING. The Celestial is none other than
the steward to Captain Roth, COMMAND
ing the United States revenue steamer
Wolcott, and that vessel has been the
means by which the contraband drug was
being brought over from the other side
and Struggled into the United States WITH
out paying the necessary revenue fees.
Sing has been aboard the Wolcott in his
present capacity nearly twelve years and
never before the present time came under
suspicion.
Just how long Sing has been engaged in
the opium traffic is not known and it
might have continued indefinitely had not
the discovery of his crime been ma e by
accident. The ell ter visited Victoria and
was about pulling away from the dock
when Sing rushed headlong down the
wharf. The plank had been drawn in and
consequently he was forced to climb
aboard over the rail. In doing so a pack
age which he carried dropped from under
his arm and fell upon the deck. His
bTeathlesS haste to recover it somewhat
surprised the pilot who was on watch Mt
the time. He reported his suspicious to
Captain Roth, who Immediately ordered
Sings quarters searched with the result
of finding eighteen pounds of unstamued
prepared opium neatly hidden away I'M
