 The capture was affected within the 12-mile limit off South Pablo of Harbour Island, British West In dies, and six members of the crew were arrested, They are being brought to Jacksonville, where they will be charged with violating the custom laws and the national pro- hibition law, officers said.
 The crew told a story of having been attacked about o'clock Tues day morning by the second assistant engineer and two stowaways, one of whom was formerly the chief engi- neer forced into the forecastle and kept there and guarded until today. Their alleged captors, they said, went ashore today in dories when the government pqrsuers were sighted.
 Members of the crew, officers said, declared they put 10 sea under the belief the pursuers were liquor pi- rates.
 Skeptical Of Story.
 Search for the Louise F, was begun early today after three negroes had reported to Sheriff E. E. Boyce of St. Johns county at St. Augustine, late last night that they had been members of the crew and had been imprisoned, escaping yesterday from their white guard while landing liquor on Pablo Beach in dory. Today officers found 25 cases of liquor and an abandoned dory which the degrees said had been un- loaded. Later white man was ar rested but he denied he had any connection with the Louise F.
 Members of the crew on the Louise F, said those who assumed com mand of the vessel used them from time to time during their imprison- ment in the forecastle to help to man the schooner. Officers were skepti- cal, they said, about the story told them.
 The liquor seized consisted of champagne, wines, Scotch, Irish and rye whiskey and gin. It was stored in every available place on the schooner, it was said.
