C., January 14.— Fishing for repatriated rye whisky on the Cape Lookout shoals is the :;M“C.m}lmo“ lucrative sport along ie Caroling coasts. And therel hangs a sad tale. e A few days ago a Bchooner was noticed in. distress off the cape. Evldenll{ she had grounded. Event- ually a tug noticed the plight of the unfortunate vessel and bore down upon her, with smoke pouring from the funnmel, thinking to salvage the im; bel’t'fli;ll craft. l ut the schooner was a high-seas bootlegger. The skipper saw fho tug coming straight for him and ae jumped to the gulity conclusion that it was a revenue cutter bound on taking him captive. So up came all || hands and overboard went a cargo of $50,000 worth of the choicest rye ' which had been shipped out of the country when prohibition was im- minent and was on its way back for 2ome consumption. ‘The bootleg skipper realized his mistake when the tug finally got within hailing dis- tance, but the liquor was gone. There ensued a wild dredging and draging debauch. The news of the overboard liquor spread along the coast and fishing smacks came from everywhere to join In the drag hunt. One fishermen hauled up five cases in one net. The price of the recovered liquor, when it reached dry land, was $6 a quart. | — Two More Days To Join Our 1922 calling on the Secretary of State for information as to the finan- cial affairs of European govern- ments, particularly with reference | to the expenditures for land urma- | ments. i INDIANA DELEGATES GUESTS. | The Indiana delegation in Congress | was the guest of honor of the Indiana State Society at its annual “Congres- sional night” held in the Ebbitt Hotel | last evening.
