SENECA FIRES UPON l COLLIER OFF JERSEY
Continued from First Page)

all haste in order that we should get away in time to make the tide in New Haven harbor. Our course was a deadline for Montauk Point.
 We were slightly more than 100 miles southeast of Montauk Point when Robert Clark. third mate on the bridge. heard a blast of sirens off the starboard bow. He turned to see the Seneca fire a shot across our bow. Two other shots followed and after We had hove to three shots were fired at us. One of the shells narrowly missed Clark as he stood on the bridge.
 "A lieutenant, an ensign and a boats crew who came aboard us. m ustered me into my cabin for an inspection of the ships articles and register. xxxX the lieutenant dis- played a considerable lack of knowl- edge concerning the ships articles and registry. The ensign was no better. They had been brought alongside by an inefficient boat crew who in spite of the calm weather had difficulty in maneuvering their cutter alongside.
 Ut was the most unusual thing that have seen in my Is years at sea. Never before have I been boarded under any circumstances. and l am frank to say that the &C., ton of the crew of the Seneca was high handed. I'd like to know what authority any naval vessel has to board a merchant ship on the high seas in peace time. But 1 showed them every courtesy. They have no comeback on my conduct"

because I'm not"
Room Found Dry
The warrant to search the hotel
was obtained unknown to "Bossy."
There was no booze in 'BossX's"

police characterized as illegal
