New Breed of Swashbucklers Take
Place of Captain Kidd Along Rum Row

TIN BOARD U. S. s. SENECA,
&t( OFF ATLANTIC COAST,
Jan. IA new breed Of
swashbuokling gentry has stepped
upon the boards to take the place Of
Captain Kidd and other famous
daredevils of dead age.
Up to the passage OF the prohibi-
tion amendment, the successors of
the tredoubtable rascals that spent
their il-gotten gains in the taverns
of lower Broadway, ruffling it with
the best, were but poor limitations.
But with the outlawing Of liquor,
and the immense wealth waiting
those daring enough to supply the
demand for the contraband liquid.
there came into being men Of the
same type as those whose daring
feats were the subject Of cong and
story.
The capture by the Seneca Of the
motor boat K-13091 with her crew Of
two. George Murray and Frank Nc
Manus, who were charged with i'm.
pedingt coast guard officers in the
performance Of their duty, is a. fair
sample of the nerve displayed by
some OF the men, who gosfar to sea

With the approach OF the Seneca.
the two men, who were aboard one
Of the ships on Rum Row, leaped to
their boat. which was moored along
side, and sped away. despite COM
mands from the Senate to halt.
Bullets cut the water about them;
one hit their engine: shells burst
around them; 1t was not until one
shell burst directly overhead and
sprayed them with its fragments
that they halted, and surrendered.
Aboard the Seneca they braved
the officers with sneering smiles
and insolent remarks-their phil
Osophy, Better luck next time"
And with the wealth that rolls In
upon them. they flaunt themselves
in the gilded cafes and cabarets of
Broadway.
To earn their money they go to
sea in small, fast. motor boats
boats that usually run from 80 to
40 feet IN length and to sh-feet
in beam. The boats are heavily
engineds and are very speedy.
They take these small boats ten
to twelve miles out to sea. into an
area that is often storm-swept, and
covered with dense fogs. Giant
waves that batter everything to
pieces must be CHANGED. With any
where from 100 to 200 cases Of
whisky aboard. their boats gun
whale may be only an inch or SO
above water.
But despite danger of storm, Of
waves. or Of capture. they gaily ply
their trade-laughing at success.
