CUTTERS REMAIN
ON DUTY HERE
Evidently On Lookout
for Rum Cargoes In
Local Watts-s.
'ihe United States Coast Guard is
evidently keeping up its watch to
prevent the landing of liquor in the
local harbor.
Cutters have been seen off the
‘I shore during the past week and have
come up into the local harbor sev-
eral times to take on fuel.
The cutter 233 came into the bar-
bor early this morning and took on
fuel. Officers on the boat looked
over several of the vessels that were
anchored in the harbor and tied up
at the docks.
The best left the harbor about 7
o'clock this morning and on the
way out stopped alongside an oys-
ter boat and looked it over. Being
satisfied the boat was not a rum
runner the cutter then headed its
nose out toward the sound and left
the harbor traveling at full speed.
