Half Bottle of Bay Rum and Good Dinner
Greet Sleuths Who Board Quinnipiac
In Search of Hidden Treasure

Half a bottle of bay rum and the
discovery of very thirsty crew were
the net results Of a raid by prohibi-
ton enforcement officers, Washing
ton detectives and the Alexandria
chief Of police. made yesterday after
noon aboard the Quinnipiac anchored
off the Alexandria shipyards..
The raiders may have been disap-
pointed over not finding any wet
goods stored aboard. as they had been
led to believe, but they left the ship
in excellent spirits nevertheless, high
in their praise of the ships steward,
who served the party hot coffee, bis
cults, mullins and boiled beef.

The federal agents were joined by
detectives from headquarters and
newspaper reporters. and the party,
composing more than a dozen mem
bers, made their way to the harbor
precinct. where they boarded the po-
lice launch and set out on the raid.
The first difficulty came when raid

He appeared and asked what the
trouble was all about. He was told.

A little argument, however, and the
visitors were allowed to come aboard.
Members of the crew gathered on the
deck and offered the federal officials
any sort of assistance desired in find
ing liquor aboard.

left the other side" said a member
of the crew, land if you gentlemen

Capt. John T. Barclay, the pilot who
boarded the steamer off the capes and
piloted her to Washington, told the
officers he was sure there wasn't any

nobody but a Brazilian would drink

The raiders were taken to the hold
and allowed to make thorough
search. The party ended up in the
galley, where the steward served a
hot lunch to the raiders, told some sea
stories and invited them to call again.

occurred where a mans name has
been on the delinquent list, and he
has. in reality. already unloaded his
cars promptly. This inaccuracy on
the part of the railroads, according
to board officials. tends to nullify the
boards efforts at cooperation.
Yesterday. it is stated, one man was
notified by the board that his car had
not been unloaded and had been left
on the track for some time. He called
up the board and said that he had re-
ceived notification that his car was
placed. but on going to the yards he
was unable to find it, and the car. as
far as he was concerned, was lost
The board promptly set about to trace
