KILL LDORMANT
BOAS ON SHIP
Dry Agents Keep Clear of
Vessel After Hearing
Yarn
EXPERIENCES
STARTLE CREW

NEW YORK. Dec. 21.-Agents
who look into the obscure corners
and crannies OF ships for hidden
booze decided on the arrival OF the
Ward liner Orizaba from Havana
that she would require special atten-
tion, as she brought in a snake story
that seemed TO have been inspired by
snake-bite remedy Of unusual po-
tency.
Second Steward Charles Hag-
gerty went down into the liners hold
the night after she left Havana and
came back up ladders and compan-
ion ways hardly touching the rungs
or steps. There was a procession OF
gigantic snakes following him, all
linked up like sausages.
The skipper said the usual thing
about the evil of abandoning the
one-half Of one per cent. legal stuff
aboard. hut IL did not shake the
story of the second steward for even
second. Chief Engineer Albert
Torrison was inclined 10 accept the
tale and volunteered 10 go below and
rout out the monsters. He came
back swiftly. denying that there was
really a supercargo of linked snakes.
long drawn out. but that he had
seen with his guaranteed one-half of
one per cent. eyes two big snakes and
that they were not sea serpents, but
Onshore boa constructors.
It was recalled that the Orizaba
on her last trip south had a circus
and menangerie aboard and It was
naturally inferred that some OF the
big boas had wriggled out OF cap
tivity into the ships hold. A gang
OF men went below, found the boas
in a state OF coma and dispatched
them. when they might have brought
them here and sold them to an ami
NAL dealer.
They were described as big snakes
but nobody took the trouble 10 meas
Ire them before they were thrown
INTO the sea, so the sea serpent re- ?
porters had to guess the longitude
With some degree OF latitude. They
nay have been twenty feet long.
The skipper thought the tale good
enough, but was surprised next
hight when Haggerty appeared
lgain. much excited and shouted
hat there was another snake loose
,elow The skipper appeared 20
Inspect that Haggerty was loose
Ibove and told him TO watch his
tep. Another snake expedition
vas formed aDd-yes. the third boa
vas found on the boat and slain. I.
After the agents had searched
.ainly for booze, fret hearing all the
,oa-idea yarns. they wondered
What sort Of a tale might have come
.ut OF the liner II the ships COM
ANY had not been on the water
wagon.
