Cleverly Done ‘The work was cleverly done, and when ' the Leviathan arrived at Southampton, the mail sacks were still sealed and apparently un- touched. It was not until the mail was opened for distribution in Eng- land and France that the robbery was discovered. At first it was insisted that the robbery must have occurred before the mail was put aboard ‘the liner in New York, and fake seals: substi- tuted.

For scveral days the fed- I authorities and police searched for a mail gang that might have reached the valuable mail parcels as they were being transferred from the post office to the Leviathan in port. They tinally decided a robbery ashore would have been impossible, so closely was the mail guarded, and !the search then started abroad and among the crew of the big United | States liner.
