PIRATE SHIPS. MAY
BE RUM RUNNERS
Stories of Mysterious Vessels Seen Off
the American Coast Are Traced Down
to Ships With Liquor Cargoes.

Atlantic City, N. j., July ls.-Pirat
yarns and reports of mysterious ship
seen lurking along the trade lines o.
the north Atlantic may be explained
by the discovery of blockade runners
that have been landing valuable car
goes OF contraband liquor on the jersey
coast.
In maritime circles persistent stories
have been told of strange vessels APP
preaching merchantmen on the open
seas, as though prepared TO attack, and
then dashing off into the darkness
without observing the inviolabe rule
OF answering code signals. Ii was even
suggested recently that these spectre
like craft might be able to explain the
disappearance of certain vessels.
What revenue agents believe TO be
the explanation Of such unusual ac-
tions on the high seas was brought
about through the seizure of whiskey
valued at $4,000 which is said to have
been landed along a cove near Wild
wood, n. j., from an alleged mystery
ship"
Several days before the liquor was
discovered and confiscated an unidenti-
fed steamer was seen manoeuvreing
just outside of the three mile limit, off
Wildwood. Coast guard cutters we're
sent TO watch it. The vessel dissp-
peared but not before, officials think,
it had discharged a cargo Of whiskey.
Prohibition officers declared to-day
they are confident smuggling of intoxi-
eants on this coast is being conducted
on tremendous scale. Cargoes worth
vast fortunes are believed TO have been
brought from foreign countries. trans,
ferred to small boats at night and
cached in unfrequented spots
1t is thought probable that the
blockade runners" have also trans
ierred their illegal cargoes to vessels
bearing. authoritative clearance papers.
This, the officers say, would account
or the strange actions of the mystery
hips Their explanation is this:
The captain of the liquor laden YES
el is instructed to meet another YES
el, bound for an American port at
,iyen point along the coast and trans.
er his liquor, which can then be |
anded with a legitimate cargo. When

nv WATERBURY, BRIDGE
Two Women in Wagon Were Thrown

Smashed.

Waterbury, July lS-Mrs. Joseph
Cormier and Miss Nellie Cormier, driv-
ing to church yesterday morning, suf
fered what are hoped to be minor in
juries when an automobile, driven by
M. +. Leach of Cambridge, collided
with their wagon about 10 feet from the
Waterbury end of the long bridge. Mrs
Cormier and daughter were driving to-
ward Waterbufy and were as far on
the right side of the bridge as it was
possible to get 1t is said that Mr..
Leach claims he did not see the team.
The front wheel of the wagon was
broken; also thills and reach and har-
ness badly torn. The horse which, of
course, was frightened, was stopped
short distance from the end of the
bridge Mrs. Cormier was thrown di-
rcctly in front of the car, with other
cars coming from the opposite direc-
tion. She was suffering from an injured
knee and nerve strain. As she is quite
heavy, it is wonder no more serious
injuries were sustained. Miss Nellie
{ mier was thrown the other side and
was also badly famed.
They were taken in the car and car
ried to their home on Crossett hill by |
Mr. Leach. who wished to adjust all |
damages and do all in his power to
rectify what had been done
This bridge remains, as it always has
been, bad place for autoists and driv- |
ers of horses. As yet, serious accidents
have not occurred there but several
which hsye lacked of being serious only
by luck or chance While it is not
thought that Mr. Leach was driving
any faster than the law permits it is
hought that at both ends of this
bridge extra caution should be used.
