SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. l8.-The
300-ton rum ship Coal Harbour,
which sailed from n Canadian port
February l with a large cargo Of
liquor for South American ports, "
was towed into San Francisco bay
today, a prize Of the coast guard

mated she had aboard about 10000
cases Of choice liquor, worth nearly

The Coal Harbour is believed to
have attempted to get in close to

when the Cahokia came along and
the rum ship sought safety in flight.
guard cutter overhauled the schoon-
er, ordering the crew to take Il rope
aboard. The Canadians refused and
Warrant Officer G. r. Kipste put
off with q boat crew and fought 4
heavy sea for three quarters of an
hour before he could board the rum
ship and secure the tow.
While the cutter was fighting to
secure its prize, other rum ships
stood nearby and jeered Captain
Johnson and his men. The Princi-
pie, Malahat and an unidentified
vessel were among those at the
party.
Then when the rum ship had been
safely brought into the harbOr and
anchored under guard, her skipper
and crew invited the coast guards
men aboard for Il midnight feast.
No stimulants were served.
