SEIZED SHIPS MEN
LOST HOT SUPPER
Meal Was Sizzling on Stove
When Coast Guardsmen
Boarded Vessel.
Copyright by Harris & Ewing.
By the Associated Press.

NORFOLK, Va, December 25.-
Bacon and eggs were sizzling in
pan on a galley stove, dog was run
ming up and down the deck barking
and her hold was filed with liquors
champagne, whisky. gin and alcohol
valued at more than 100000. but
there was not a human being on board
the Honduran auxiliary schooner
Julio when she was boarded by crews
from two Coast Guard boats in the
Poquoson River near York River late
Thursday.
The crew had apparently left the
whiSky-laden craft only a few min
utes before the Coast Guard boats
arrived. How they went or where
they went the officers of the Coast
Guard boats do not know. They
found a hot fire in the stove in the
ships galley and on the stove was
a frying pan containing bacon and
eggs. The men must have left with
out their supper, because there We're
clean dishes on the table in the mess
room as If they had been put in place
preparatory to serving a meal.
Boatswain A. n. Taylor, in COM
mand of one of the Coast Guard boats.
was among the boarding party that
S1dACO TIC SlucS VI the Inc
latter vessel had hove to as IL she
were looking for a place to land her
cargo of Christmas cheer Boatswain
Taylor said there was no sign of a
human being on the schooner and
ne did not see anybody leave her.
He is Of the opinion that the crew
on the rSim-laden craft must have
been advised of the coming of the
Coast Guard boats and fed.
Samples of the-Julito's cargo were
brought to the Custom House here
yesterday. There were about 100
cases of champagne, 100 cases Of gin.
1880 cases Of alcohol and about 400
cases of whisky
Judging from conditions in the hold
OF the ship, it appeared that several
cases of alcohol had been removed.
Inc champagne and gin were packed
tight in the hold of the shin and an.
parentiy had not been molested from
the time it was put on board.
