COAST GUARD IN
BAY BATTLE
Rum Runner Escapes But
Throws Overheard Cases
of Liquor
MANY SHOTS FIRED

Coast guard boats and two rum
runners engaged in a machine-gun
battle in the main channel of the
Delaware Bay about seven miles
south Of Lewes late Thursday
night and early Friday morning,
according to reports from Lewes.
AS far as could be learned no one
on the coast guard was injured.
Coast guardsmen say they are GER
tain that a number of their bullets
struck the rum runners. They
state also that the rum runners
were forced to throw overheard
their liquor cargoes. Commander
Gordon MacLane of Cape May, N.
j., base of the coast guard, declin-
ed to make known the numbers Of
the coast guard cutters, which en-
gagged in the battle, because to
make known the numbers would
aid future operations of the rum
runners About $50 o'clock Thurs
day night two of the cutters which
have been patrolling the mouth of
the bay since Thanksgiving Day,
say two rum runners, each about
sixty feet in length. lying off the
breakwater. Upon the cutters ap-
proach, the boats speeded away.
One sped up the bay at high
speed, endeavoring to elude the
cutters. The cutters fired several
rounds of machine gun bullets at
the rum runner in an effort to stop
it. The rum runner returned the
fire. The chase up the bay con-
tinued. The rum runner was seen
to throw overheard several hun
dred cases of liquor and turn about
heading back toward the mouth of
the bay. In the meantime the two
cutters sent up red flares to at
tract the Cape May base so that
aid could be sent them. Two more
cutters came out of Cape May, and
joined in the chase, but the speedy
rum runner eluded capture, re-
turning bullet for bullet. The four
cutters then joined in a search for
the second rum runner Later in
the night it was seen "sneaking'
into the bay. The cutters opened
fire on it and it returned the fire.
This runner was also seen to jetti-
son it's cargo, turn about, set up
a smoke screen out Of its motors
exhaust and speed away. It also
eluded capture. At two o'clock
in the morning the cutters aban-
doned their search. The machine
gun fire was heard during the
night by many residents of Lewes
No cutter from the Lewes base OF
the coast guard participated in the
fight.
