Gently published In Honolulu with the sug-

cry that he had . mission in life. opium
Brown" has been experimenting success
fully with the customs officers OF Hawaii.
and in a recent trick he is supposed TO have
used a American bark loaded with dopa
from Puget sound
Early last October Brown put In IN ap-
pearance on the streets of Honolulu.
Within a week an overstocked condition
Of the opium market had put the price
away down, 10 the Joy Of the hends and
the apelogstic misery OF the customs men.
Ii Was only a day or two before Opium
Brown" made his appearance that three
masted schooner, carrying the American
coiors hove to one night just to the north
ward OF Kahuku plantation. on the wind
ward side OF the island. A single light ap-
peared on the beach. as Q beacon for the
master OF the schooner. The surf was bit
turbulent, but no dificulty was found In
launching and manning heavy surf boat.
and the crew was soon pulling away for the
schooner.
The boat was piled high with tins OF
opium. packed neatly IN gunny sacks. and
about 8 O'Clock in the morning left the
were made from the schooner before the
break OF day. The picxets hack On the
higher ground gave no warning. so the
men worked In the open without fear.
About daylight the job was done. and the
schooner got under way again. The wind
failed her. however, and 1t was long after
daylight before she got fairly under way
and was drawing away from the land. A
number OF people in that vicinity saw the
craft. and may have wondered how she
got so close In. But long before daylight
the contrahand opium had been safely
cached away, and the biggest part of the
Job was over.
In explaining the operation 10 the pub
lie Honolulu paper allowed itself the fol-
lowing conjecture:
The shipping records will show that
small American schooner cleared from a
Puget sound port about six weeks ago for
the South American coast, in ballast. 1t
was not difficult matter TO get the dope
aboard OF her down in the Sound. and the
plans of the smugglers had been so care
fully laid that they found little difficulty
in landing the stuff on the sparsely settled
and poorly guarded windward coast.
lit Is said that some Chinese who are
old hands al the business supplied the
money for the venture. and that the
scheme was devised and carried out by the
notorious Opium Brown who has several
lieutenants on this and other islands"
