case occurred on board "A small sloop at
the sout hern side of the harbor on Thurs
day of last week, in which our constables,
Eerna!d and Ralph, exhibited courage
in overcoming armed resistance, The
.loop, sailed by Capt. John Ross, OF
Rockland, with an assistant, had boldly
anchored mt the quarry on Juiy /, the
violators OF the prohibitory law dealing
out unlimited quantities of liquor. The
complaint OF citizens was un needed, and
the officer of he law did not understand
his right to interfere with a floating rum
shop. Some of tine free rum circulating
at ,uut invest Harbor on he Fourth could
undoubtedly be traced to the same
source, Made bold by former successes,
the siuop again visited our harbor, Lat
tAs time the officers were alert and
wutehful. Constable Ralph boarded the
craft and having obtained proof Of
the Illegal traffic, and seeing signs on the
part OF the crew Of Il desire to make Il
Sudden exit from the hHrbor, without
