The only way in which the coat guard can thwart the rum runners is to spot their ships and then keep constant guard until they run out of fuel and provision ant are forced to return to Cana da said one of the officers of number 280. That is what we are doing to -a Wk A . ... in t-rmce AiDert, wnicn is re potted to be loaded with 80,000 aesjif liquor, most of it distilled i rjJjCoard.
