WITHOUT BRANDY
England Wouldn't Let Ship

Steerage.
TRIED TO OBEY LAW.
President Adams, u. S. Liner,
Reaches Port With First
Dry Law Problem.

A new and complicated seamanshin
knot was presented TO the Prohibition
authorities for infringement to-day
when the Shipping Eoard steamship
President Adams. operated by the
United States Lines. came into port
with i've gallons OF brandy aboard.
The knot has two turns to II. The
first one is that II Is now against the
law for any vessel to como to an
American port with liquor aboard
The second one is that no vessel with
British subjects in the steerage can
clear from London without taking
aboard a gallon OF brandy for each one
hundred of such passengers. 1t is for
use in illnesb only, OF course, but the
law is iron-clad. In fact. when Capt,
Jonas Pendlebury OF the President
Adams sought to get away from TIL
bury docks without the brandy he was
refused clearance papers.
When the vessel was about to sail
from London, Oct. II, as the first
American vessel off for this country
under the new Prohibition ruling as
to transatlantic craft. Skipper Pendlc-
bury was notified to set ashore all the
liquor his vessel carried. And, while
John Steiner. the ships bartender.
wept. the contraband was carried
down the gangplank. Four nours
were required TO put the liquor over
side, because II comprised 1883
bottles of wines and liquors, 400
bottles of Scotch whiskey, 119 bottles
OF ale and six barrels of beer.
Lying beside the President Adams
at Tilbury Docks was the Union
Castle liner TeutOn, ready to sail foI
Cape Town. The moment the de-
barking OF the liquor was understood
the Teuton's band was plped on deck
and for four distressful hours played
dirges and funeral marches. On the
President Adams a young miss In the
first cabin contributed u black silk
petticoat to the mourners aboard that
vessel and the door OF the barroom
was appropriately draped In black.
When Capt. Pendlebury encoun-
tered the officials of the British Board
or Trade and learned about the
brandy retirement he had no recourse
but to take aboard the five gallons,
because he had large number OF
steerage passengers on his list
During the voyage TO this port
John Steiner said he sold nearly five
hundred bottles OF ginger ale. But
1t was taken to the staterooms and
drunk there" he added, which may
mean something or may not, just a.
you look at it."
None OF the passengers aboard
knew OF the existence OF the five
gallons OF brandy, which Skipper
Pendlebury kept not only under lock
and key but also sealed.
