RUM FLEET SCARED OFF
BY SHOT FROM CUTTER
cBy The Associated Press,

NEW YORK, May 3.-The flight of
the Jersey rum fleet during the night
was attributed to the action of the
Coast Guard cutter Seneca in sending
a ten-inch shot across the bow of a
small smuggling cutter which was
trying to get past the Coast Guard
boat.
The Seneca opened fire yesterday
afternoon after two small cutters,
scooting along between the fleet and
shore, had ignored the Seneca's order
to stop.
The Seneca, ordered by Washington
to join in the constant patrol of the
fleet, mounts heavier guns than the
cutter and the supposition is that one
of the shots landed in the midst of the
rum feet.
