travelled to the westward; and he saw
Clinch's Dump standing below stark,

And after "a long while he ventured
nearer. sinking through brush and
frosted weed, creeping behind bowld-

u. S. AGENT FIRES AT
SUSPECTED SMUGGLERS
But All Escape in High Power
Boat.

While passengers of the steamship
Homeric were being landed and having
their baggage examined on Pier SO,
North River yesterday. three revolver
shots sounded in rapid succession. They
Were fired by Customs Guard Charles
Ostman at motor boat carrying seven
men with liquor said-to have been taken
from the ship.
Ostman was on the lower deck OF the
pier when he caught sight Of members
OF the crew Of the motor boat hurrying
across the after deck OF the steamer
with bulging clothing. When the men
reached the pier Ostman called on them
to halt, but they only increased their
pace and leaped over the side OF the
pier into a fifty foot high powered
motor craft.
While the seven men crouched in the
bottom Of the boat between Piers SIS
and 50 the engine was put on at full
speed. Ostman then fired three shots
over the boat which was well out of the
slip at the time. The passengers ran
to the south side of the pier to see the
motor boat go down stream at full
speed The boat which escaped was one
of a fleet of six which was standing
off the end of Pier SO.
