Washington. ID. G.. Sept. 10. !
Business involving the exchange of
American dollars for Scotch, Irish and
all other sorts OF liquor temporarily
stored in one place or another in the
bahama Islands is picking up again
quite rapidly after a period of COM
parative dullness and the expectation
OF some observant and thoughtful in
habitants of the British archipelago is
that 1t will not be long before the
Bahamas have at least as many mill
lionaires as the United States can show
by its income tax returns.
Meanwhile the United States Gov
eminent Is making no move to shut
on the inward flow of liquor from Mas
eau and the outward flow of dollars,
waiting patiently and in full accord
ance with diplomatic usage for the
British Government to reply to the
note Secretary of State Hughes sent
last July, calling attention to the ex-
listing conditions and suggesting re-
ciprocal agreement by. which,, for
search and seizure purposes the three
mile limit should be moved eastward
either seven or nine miles.
Smuggling into the United States from
m imaginary line drawn between Hall
FAX and Nassau goes merrily on daily
and is increasing. according to officials
of the prohibition unit, while the British
Government is making deliberate and
probably very careful investigation
into the exact conditions with wealth
of correspondence passing between the
Foreign Office. with which the United
States has to DEAL and the Colonial
Office. which naturally has the last word
In anything affecting either Halifax or
the Bahamas. How soon the correspon-
dence and the investigation by Great
: Britain will end no one attempts TO
kress.
Twenty Vessels Leave in Week.
Occasionally the newspapers contain
reports of schooners picked up here and
there along the American coast and of
seizures OF a quantity of liquor, but in
one week recently not fewer than twenty
vessels left Nassau, all having the same
object, the peddling OF liquor to dry
America. Many were bound ostensibly
for Halifax. although carrying Scotch
to Halifax is very much like carrying
Goals to Newcastle. Somewhere along
the coast OF New Jersey or New York
the shippers OF the vessels knew they
would be relieved OF all further response
bility as far as their cargoes were con-
cerncd.
The fleet out of Nassau differed in
no way from other fleets that have
sailed during other weeks. but business
Is brisker than it was. according to all
reports. A rough estimate made at Mas
sau puts at 10000 the number of cases
aboard the vessels. Some OF the craft
have made the trip many times, but
there are always additions being made
to the wet" fleet.
There is little or no conceren among

THE SKILLYPOT, TORTOISE
FERRYBOAT, ENDS HER DAYS
Also Known as The Other Side, Because She-Gen-
orally Was There; Oldest Craft of Her Kind in
Existence Goes Into Snug Harbor.

who traced the letters on the side OF the
boat knew her by that name. The term
Skillypot is a corruption Of an old Dutch
word which means tortoise. The ferry
boat resembled nothing more than q
huge tortoise on its back. Her speed
and shape made the name SlSillypot most
appropriate.
In the days that preceded the steam
age the craft was operated by man
power, and later became a horse ferry,
the motive power being furnished by a
team of horses on treadwheel.
Even the Oldest inhabitant cannot rec
ollect the year the present ferryboat
started running. The Skillypot is prob
ably the only chain ferry in this section
of the country.
Tourists also adopted the title of '"The
Other Side" for the Sldllypot. due to the
fact that whenever they wanted to cross
the creek she was on the other side
The elimination OF the ferry will mark
the passing of another old.landmark in
Ulster county.

situation ana may well be taken cog

things that might be taken up and which

For instance, one set of papers NAV
show the vessel is bound from the

may show that she is bound from thu

may be flashed. If the vessel is inside

Some Action Expected.

While the text of the Hughes note to
Great Britain has never been made
public it is understood that besides ex-
planning the existing situation 1t sug-
gested that Great Britain agree to a
reciprocal arrangement whereby search
OF vessels would be permitted to q
specified limit of ten or twelve miles
from the coast, it being understood that
the agreement was simply between the
two countries and did not in any way
vitiate the generally accepted interpre-
tation OF territorial waters"
IL is quite freely admitted that Great
Britain has the whip hand and can re-
fuse to consent to any variation of the
international agreement regarding ter
ritorial waters" on the theory that such
an agreement would be an interference
with sovereign rights on the high seas,
of which she has invariably been Jealous.
But the delay and the fact that the
British Government Is making an in
vestigation may mean that some action
will be taken.
IL may be said that the United States
Government feels that certain abuses or
common practices greatly aggravate the
