 30 Autos Searched
 There were also eight men from the enforcement bureau on hand ex- pressly to search the 90 automobiles waiting to be driven ashore by pas sengers.

 Customs officials calculated that every third passenger had . supply of liquor and there were as many women as men among the offenders.
 Some passengers. noticing the cus- toms men. returned hurriedly to their cabins. unloaded their liquor. and spread the word to fellow pas sengers who also left their bottles behind them.
 No liquor had been found in any of the automobiles. The searchers also went through the cargo looking for liquor.
