Rum Pirates And Hi-Jackers Infest Atlantic Coast

with a cargo of Liquor to New Or
leans.
At Horizons Island off the south
ern coast she was to meet an agent
of the bootleggers who was tc di-
rect the captain where to land the
cargo. Arriving at Horizons Island,
stranger met che schooner, explain
ing that the regular agent was i'll
and had sent him in his place. He
gave the captain his sailing direc.
tions, appointing meeting that
night just off the coast.
The captain was suspicious, but
had no choice but to follow direc-
tons. He took the precaution, how
ever, of stationing three of his crew
who We're crack shots in places of
concealment about the deck.
At the designated rendezvous
slipped a motor boat out of the dark
and eight heavily armed men came
aboard. They ordered the captain
and crew to throw up their hands.
Three spurts of fire famed. One
yof the hijackers slipped to the deck,
a bullet through his shoulder. The
weapons Of the others clattered as
they dropped from suddenly up
thrust hands.
All were bundled aboard their
boat, and the schooner returned to
Horizons Island to be net by the
regular agent who had been relcas,
ed from captivity when the h'iaek-
ers thought it was too late for him
to warn the schooner. r.he captain
received the proper Instructions and
his cargo was safely landed.
Another Nassau rum-runner show
ed considerable resourcefulnese in
dealing with prohibition agents who
couldn't be fixed in time. He had
to land his cargo at Cocanut Grove,
just south of Miami. But the agents
were watching the road over which
he had to transport his liquor from
the ocean.

But when it comes te, hijacking,
it was the Americans who invented
this form of piracy, and to date
most of it has remained their pre-.
rogative.
Recently an American schooner
hove to off Great Bahama Island
and purchased $4,000 worth of
whisky.\ The schooner sailed at
dusk. Out of sight of the island,

boat, and five of her crow returned
to the island. With drawn auto,

returning to their schooner, sailed

WORST ABUSE
FROM Police

for Rich Prisoners
(By Ex-PoIice Reporter.l


Why can the police use the
gosdfisin1' 2 way is it that they
can do things which are unIaw-
ful and get away with them? If
you have read the other articles
in this series you have probably
asked yourself that question.
The explanation is simple. The
American people have developed
a fear of the police.
Radicals Abused Most.
1t is the poor-the workers-who
come in contact with the police. You
never hear Of millionaire being ar
rested and "goldfished" for stealing a
few dollars. 1t is the poor and I'M
educated who are the victims of DO
lie brutality. People of little educa-
ton, they speaking little and poor
English. From their experience thew
see that the police can be bribed, that
they are corrupt.
The police know that radical work
