Since cotton became ~contraband all

tried to get it through the blockade.
One ship which was intercepted car
ried what purported to be q cargo %
-four. Certainly there was q great deal
of flour in it-and a great deal OF q
ton as well. Some of the first sacks
examined panned out correctly. Then
an officer kicked one midway. The
sack yielded oddly to the impact OF his
foot. No dust flew out, and 1t seemed,
as he expressed 1t, like kicking q pill
low" At once the sack was empfied,
and what a revelation! The middle
part of it contained only cotton. Al
the other sacks gave up a like secret.
There was -four at the top, flour at the
bottom-and cotton in the middle Of
them all.
