Rush then returned to the office OF the
company and reported the occurrence 10
Henry Clark, the night watchman. Clark
became suspicious that the Chinese were
notified the police. Sergt. Kent and Off
GERS of Seventh station were despatched
to the scene and within a short time eight
Chinese had been captured
In the meantime. the customs and imm-
grafton officials had been notified of the
arrest OF the Chinese and the appearance
OF a strange schooner in the river.
The vessel was not boarded immediate
ly, however. as there was not a breath
Of wind stirring and II would be impos-
sible for the craft to get away.
The search for the Chinese was prose-
cuted. and before long nine more had
been caught.
II was not until about 3:45 this morning
that boarding party went out to the
schooner. In the party were a number
Of policemen. United States Deputy Mar
shall Richmond ]. Stone and several OF
the employees OF the coal yard.
No attempt had ben made to remove
from the Frolic's stern the raised letters
which formed her name; but a heavy coil
OF rope hung over the stern, completely
concealing them The deckhouse was
covered with white canvas, giving the
craft the outward appearance OF a fish,
ing schooner.
The interior OF the vessel was found 70
be in an indescribable condition OF Nth:
and the only persons on board at the time
W o
who were sleeping in the forecastle. They
pretended that they could not speak Eng
lish; but the officers were OF the belief
that the men were only shamming.
The vessel was conhscated by the gov
ernment officials. and the two sailors
were arrested and brought ashore
The Frolic gave every appearance OF
having undergone exceedingly heavy
weather. Her bowsprit had been carried
away and there were other indications
fhat she had had a hard time at sea.
IL IL believed by the officials that the
breaking OF the bowsprit made II preca-
rious TO remain longer at sea, and that
the commander had decided TO make a
bold dash for port, trusting in the alter
ed condition of the craft TO evade the
vigilance OF the coast guards and the rev.
enue cutter officers.
This ruse proved successful: and. had II
not been for the accidental discovery Of
tne TWO thlneSe by HuSn, the living
freight OF the Frolc might have been
landed successfully.
Close upon the arrest OF tho Chinese and
the conflscation OF the schooner came the
arrest OF two white men in tho vicinity
OF the coal pockets: and they were locked
up on suspicion OF having been concerned
In the smuggling.
A systematic search Of the Chinese
quarter Of the city was made by the po-
| lice today; and IL Is thought that nearly
| all OF the Chinese will he captured.
The men arrested on the schooner arc
tho mate. Edward Junkins aged 10. OF
! South Boston. and william A. Duncan OF
/ South Boston, n sailor.
There Is also under arrest John G. Ic-
| heneman OF South Boston. who was sent
/ 90 this city by his brother, who shipped
| the Cinnamon from New Foundland
| Mate Jenkins told a News-Democrat
/ reporter this morning that the Frolic
| cleared from Placentia six weeks ago to-
| morrow. ostensibly for New York, having
| on board A. Cinnamon
The Frolic on reaching the Miquelon
Islands was held up by customs ofiieials
