Rum Row Troubles
On n. 3. Border

ST. George, \. B., Aug. 24-(P-
Rum row activities are not confined
to the American side of the border. In
the trial of 100000 alcohol snug
Cling case here some light was thrown
on the situation prevailing near The
Wolves. an island at the mouth of
Passamaquoddy Bay just beyond the
three-nile limit. Captain Trehan of
the schooner Granite was acquitted of
smuggling but must still face a charge
of ''hovering on the coast with intent
to land goods" on which the duty has
not been paid.
1t developed that there was a regu-
lar rum row off The Wolves, which IS
about Is miles in an air line from
Eastport, Maine. There are numerous
harbors and coves on the southern
New Brunswick coast in the vicinity
of Deadman Head which are favorable
to landing struggled cargoes.
The Granite was seized on July %,
while lying at anchor on the row by
patrol boat of the preventive service"
She was towed to Beaver Harbor and
later to st. John. With the duty added
her cargo of alcohol was estimated to
be worth 100000.
The day before the seizure J. L.
Baasch was captured in an alcohol
ldueu IlOlOT DOaL ClOSe 10 the ITdNlle.
The government commended that his
cargo came from that schooner.
Baasch testified at the trial that he
had obtained the alcohol from another
schooner with a name beginning with
&c" He explained his visit to the
Granite by asserting that when his
boat developed engine trouble members
of the crew of the &c" advised him
to go for help to the engineer of the
Granite, who was an expert at repair
ing engines. When the patrol boat
hove in sight he was cast off from the
Granite.
Business" is said to be still flour
ishing off The Wolves, with the feet
of rum runners growing steadily. st.
George, situated near the mouth of the
Magaguadavic River, which empties
into Passamaquoddy Bay and St. An
drews, at the mouth Of the st. Croix
River which forms the boundary line
between Maine and Southwestern New
Brunswick, are the only large towns
in this section of the province which
has many miles of lonely coast line.
