LUCY H. IS FOUND
Schooner Carried Munitions
without Clearance Papers.
Little Vessel Has Given the
Authorities Much Trouble.

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 20.-The Ameri-
can schooner Lucy H, which recently
left Key West with a cargo of arms
and ammunition, presumably for Mex
leo and without clearance papers. has
been found, near Pensacola, by special
agents of the department of justice.
The vessel was anchored and in good
condition.
The Lucy H, has had a varied career
in the last three months. In Septem-
ber she was cleared for Mexican ports
with arms and ammunition. The night
before she sailed the steam yacht
Buena Ventura was taken from the
Key West harbor and later was found
outside Key West with six members of
the crew of the Lucy H aboard. 1t
was reported they had planned to
transfer part of the Lucy IFS cargo to
the yacht. The men were arrested but
their cases never were disposed of.
The Lucy H later returned to Key
West and her papers held up. On Oc-
tober 81, she sailed without clearance
papers, and later was reported to have
landed her cargo in Mexico.
