Sanders, chief of the Inspection Division,
Surveyors Department, United States Gus
toms. Sanders has control of the customs feet
that lies at the Battery when not at sea. It's
principal units are the Hahn, Captain Tawes;
the Hansen, Captain Dizer; the Taylor, Cap
tain Mcdonald, and the Larsen, Captain Lar
sen. The vessels are all of kidney, SO to
speak, former sub chasers, ITO feet long,
twelve feet beam and capable of seventeen
knots under forced draft. They roll like
canoes in seaway, are painted navy gray,
and may be termed uneasy craft to roost
aboard in bad weather.
Captains of these boats command only when
there is no customs man aboard. When
of Sanders's men steps over the rail he sends
up an admiral's flag, SO to speak. The captain
becomes navigating officer. He gets his sail
ing orders from the inspector and the latter
gets his from Sanders, who obtains informa-
ton as to locations of suspect vessels from
sources with which this narrative has nothing
to do. He gives orders to brace of inspectors
who board one of the mosquito craft and pro-
coed to execute them.
Four-ffths of the snluggler chasing is done

few nights ago sixteen rowboats in a string
overhauled in the East River passing

they had been engaged at q wharf in Hobokcn

were to watch for repeated flashes of green
light. The men had been paid in advance for

Now is the high tide of rum-smuggling en-

job will be more complicated. The British
government, averse to permitting search Of
British vessels outside the three-mile limit
recognized in international law, is neverthe-
less casting about for ways to curb the traffic
which constitutes an obstacle to cordial rela-
tons with Uncle SAM When the British gov
eminent wants to stop any Improbable enter
prise of its busy traders-that is, Improbable
from the governments viewpoint-means are
always available. So the probability is that
without stretching the offshore limit something
will be devised to make shipment of vast
liquor reserves into islands off the American
coast with American ports as their ultimate
destinations more hazardous than it has hith-
