his companion, caught the first, the

Washington brought requests for
more information
On the Virginia side there is
Aqua and Gunston Cove, both far
enough below Alexandria to have
water that isn't too polluted for fish.
The season in Virginia opens June
Is.
On the Maryland side there is
Piscataway at Fort Washington,
Mattawoman just below Indian
Head and Chicamuxen below that.
Boats are to be had at all three.
Nanjemoy Creek around Maryland
Point is one of the best largemouth
waters in this area, but boats are
not obtainable and it is hard to
get to.
If one really wants bass fishing
there are ways of overcoming such
small obstacles. In past years the
bass season in tidewater Maryland
has opened August l. We are wait
ing to hear whether the new OPEN
ing date of June IS for non tidal
waters will prevail everywhere.
Half the past week end again was
blown out by the stiff northwester.
Few boats flshed anywhere Satur-
day, but Sunday the blow dimin-
ished and the bay was dotted liber-
ally with fishing craft by mid
morning.
We caught one hardhead on the
10 Ann, right on top of bar with
scarcely 3 feet of water. He prob
ably was lost, but We couldn't find
other members of his family in the
deeper water.
Out catch was no criterion. but
here and there we heard of small

5000 Per Cent Profit

I went back aboard. Two
hours later our customers
arrived, whole swarms of them
at time. Men and women,
thirsty stevedores and well-to-
do citizens, walters, bellboys,
chambermaids and others of
more opulent aspect. They paid
from 90 to 100 fnmarks for
each bottle. A finmark had
gold value.
Having bought the liquor
with German paper money, our
profits exceeded 5000 per cent.
Each bottle brought more than
80 times its original price.
While the customs men amused
themselves below with drink
and enterprising water front
wenches, the Party unit did a
thriving business, BY daybreak
approximately 600. bottles bad
been sold.
The proceeds, ! calculated,
were. the equivalent of three
machine guns at Belgian whole
sale prices. The rest Of our stock
we sold in Viborg and Kotka,
where branch offices Of Kos
kinen e. Niminen" had been es-
tablished.
This smuggling business in
behalf of the Party was not al
ways transacted without fric-
ton. Non-Communist members
Of the Fredenhsgen's crew had
formed heir own private
smuggling rings. Even the cap
tain, the mates, the engineers
all dealt in contraband because
the wages they earned would
not even pay the rent for their
homes after the voyage was
completed.
The rival syndicates aboard
were in fierce competition with
one another. They began by 60
ing into the bunkers at night
and dumping all the coal they
could shovel atop of our stores
so that we were unable TO
reach them when the customers
came. We answered by digging
up the bottles of our competi-
tors, emptying them of their
contents and filling them with
water or tea.
i More than one sturdy Fin
lander came raging aboard, as
, often as not with a dagger in
; his hands, after he had dis
, covered that what he had
bought as rum turned out to
be cold tea. In the end, the
Communist group prevailed.

proceeded TO Viborg and Kotka,
other ports on the south coast
of Finland. In each of these
ports, as soon as the steamer
had come to a rest, dozen
Finnish customs officials came
aboard to search the ship.
The customs law, however,
permitted each member of the
crew to have one bottle of hard
drink for personal use in his
cabin. So, as the Finnish GUS
toms men crawled through
every corner of the ship-but
never taking the trouble to dig
up the coal in the bunkers-
they were offered a gratuitous
drink in each cabin they en-
tered.
They were not averse to
drink. BY the time they had fin
Iished ransacking the ship for
lcontraband, most Of them were
well loaded with spirits. When
they departed, they left behind
a routine guard or two.
Invariably, during the night
the two customs guards were

CHAPTER VII

Hugo's full name, later
learned, was Hugo Marx. He
was the resident agent of the
C. p. l.. in Hamburg. Next
morning he took me TO I h
apartment where the three fugi'
tive comrades were hidden. They
were mere boys, and two OF
them were rather drunk. All OF
them were overjoyed when they
heard that a way had been found
Ito ship them to New York.
After Hugo departed, they be-
lgan 10 talk. II was with amaze
Iment that | learned that they
had been the leaders of one of
THE holdup gangs which the un-
foreground section of the Party
the Apparat-had organized
to carry out pay roll robberies,
a practice originated in fsarist
Russia by Joseph Stain to I'LL
empty Party Golfers.
At the head of a band Of ID
Communists they had held up
and robbed the pay roll of the
municipal gas works of Berlin
Charlottenburg in January, 1928,
and few weeks later they had
seized another pay roll in a
factory at Berlin-Spandau.
Their technique was simple.
Masked and armed with revolv-
-ers, they had invaded the re-
spective Offices with the words:
"In the name of the revOlu-
tiOn-hands up"
Their loot they delivered to
the military section of the Party
in Berlin. Then enc of their gang
had broken down, and would not
carry on. Threatened with death
by his comrades, he turned in
former for the Berlin police.
"Why don't you 60 to Rus
STA. ." | demanded.
The three knew no answer. -
Hugo said we must go to
America" one of them blurted
out.
why don't they go to
Russia ." l asked Hugo Marx
at our next meeting.
They are known TO the pO-
lice" the G.. p. u. agent
replied. I'VE cannot incrimi-
nate the Soviet government"
There may have been other
reasons for sending the fugitives
to New York. 1t is not custom
airy to ask questions regarding
internal Party matters. A night
later | had three of our militants
from the Westphalia com e
ashore. Each Of them received

these ships then assisted the il.

from $50 10 500.

Meyer whose real name
was John Bornos, attempted to
carry on the smuggling bust
ness for his private profit. The
G. p. u. ordered him to pack
up and 60 to the Soviet Union.
Bornos-Meyer refused. He was
then denounced to the German
police. He and 10 of his col
laborators were seized and
sent to Jail.

Smuggling for Party


The Party ordered me to
take a sailors berth aboard the
steamer Fredenhagen. a Baltic
tramp trading between Bremen
Hamburg and the ports of Fin
land. Before this ship lief,
port, I was summoned to Party
headquarters. With me were
several of my shipmates. SINH
lar calls were sent to groups OF
Communists from other ships.
In a dingy little office on a
top floor we found a sleek Com
munist from Berlin, aLhard:
headed ex-marine engineer and
trusted lieutenant of Albert
Walter, and the inevitable Hugo
Marx. We crowded into the Of
flee until we stood packed to-

The eX-engineer opened the
session wit h a resounding
grunt.

l thought at first that he was

money could be made in SNUG.

where liquor was banned, and
that the Party was at financial
ebb tide and therefore in need
of all the money that could be
raked together.
One responsible comrade was
appointed for each ship. l be-
came the leader of the Freden-
hagen unit. Our assignment was
to buy large quantities of rum,
whisky and cognac free of
duty in the free-port zone, and
to sell this contraband in the
ports of Finland. The selling
was to be accomplished through
specially created agencies in
Helsinki and other. ports.
Among the ships represented
at this conference were, besides
the Fredenhagen, the steamers
