SAN PEDRO, Calf, Dec. ll.-A
report was received at coast guard
headquarters today that the fishing
barge which acted as a way station
for the gambling ship Monfalconc
went down with all hands at the
height of the storm which lashed
the harbor last night.
The source of the information was
anonymous but the coast guard cut
ters 23S and 25j left at once for the
spot where the barge was anchored.
Six men were stationed aboard the
barge which acted only as a point
of transfer for people travelling from
the coast to the Monfalconc.
Backers of the gambling craft
employed the barge as means to
defeat the law which prohibits boats
from transferring passengers from
the coast to gaming ships. The
coast boats brought the players to
the barge whore they were picked up
by another boat and taken to the
