shore and not even the annual appear
ance Of the mysterious black pirate
sioop, has disturbed the equinimity of
the residents. Apropos Of the black
sloop, it may be stated that rakish-
looking black schooner has been seen
down at Clinton and may next make
her appearance up around Morris
Cove, 1t Is claimed that this little
schooner, which has been hanging
around the Sound for some time, is
now used for smuggling Cinnamon in
to this country. Almost every sum-
mer. a mysterious black sloop has been
seen along the east shore and the ac-
tions of this craft have always been
watched suspiciously. But as there
are a number of these black craft, it
would be rather hard to mix them all
up as sea royers, or craft whose crews
prey upon the property of shore resi-
dents.
