Those who have been aboard the
ship said said it had cargo of 100
900 cases of Scotch whisky, valued
retail, below decks. 1t was said II
was armed, but that no attempt was
made to resist the seizure. Its
papers, 1t was said, indicated II was
bound from Hamburg to Halifax.
The secrecy of officials about the
nature of the grounds upon which
the seizure was made. gave rise TO
many rumors. some of which linked
the craft to piracy, alien smuggling
rum running and hi-jacking opera.
tions.
AS far as could be learned, how
ever. no charges of any kind have
been preferred against the vessel or
it's master, Capt. Herman Linken.
Asked for Provisions
Though customs house and coast
guard officials refused to discuss the
seizure beyond confirming the fact
that the vessel, a barkentine named
Carmen, had been brought in, it was
learned that 1t was first sighted by
the Mccall last Tuesday According
to available information, It signalled
for provisions. These were sent
aboard by the Mccall and the de-
stroyer came back to its base at
Stapleton, Staten Island.
Last Friday, 1t was reported, in
structions We're rent from Washing
ton to take in the Carmen. The Nc
Call started out and found the ves-
sci 140 miles at sea.
Capt. A. j. Henderson. coast guard
division commander, refused to con-
firm this version of the seizure, how
ever, declining to discuss the matter
at all.
One version of the seizure was
that it had been ordered by Rear
Admiral F. c. Billiard. commandant
of the coast guard at Washington.
Seizures Long Disputed
Seizure of vessels at sea for al
legged violation of this country's pro.
hibition laws, long has been a mat
ter Of legal controversy.
Treaties with several countries
negotiated provid for seizures within
IAN hours steaming" Of American
shores. But the United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals here has ruled
that seizures beyond the territorial
three-mile limit are unlawful.
A case involving the merits of the
controversy, in which a ship, sighted
outside the three.mile limit, but with
in the twelve-mile limit was chased
many miles out to sea, is before the
United States Supreme Court for ad-
Indication.
