Shortly after mid- | night the purr of the M775’'s engines could be heard approaching, The Arcata’s crew prepared for the chase. The M775 ran into the har- bor in such a direction as to head between the cutter and the shore, It was a perfect trap. Then suddenly the Arcata’s glant searchlight blazed out acro: tho water and the speedboat was sur- rounded by a glare of light, Noxt eame a shot across her bow, warn. ing the craft to stop. The answer from the M775 was 9 change of direction, a burst of speed, a derisive shot from a rifle or pistol, Steam on the Arcata was up and she started in instant pursuit. The searchlight played over the fleeing boat and then the one-pound cannon began to pour shots into the rum: runner. At last a shell plereed the gasoline tank and the air was rent by a ter rific explosion, Bolts of flame shot thru the portholes and the forward deck was raised off the boat, The Areata then drew alongside the flaming craft and pulled the four men aboard, Two hose were turned into the flames, but to no avail, Still burning, the M776 was towed to Point No Point and beached, According to’ crew members O'Leary swore to get revenge against the Coast Guard service as he was pulled over tho rail of the cutter, He is supposed to have been in chars of the boat. while Jackson ts | mained hidden, not wanting to warn) Cause 4 Arrests Four men, H.
