Same as Canada
The Wet Way from Bimini to
Florida
The wettest sevep miles in the
world some one calls Bimini, an is-
land in the Bahamas about forty-five
nines from the coast of i+'loritla,
Nevertheless, it is reported this
"bootleggers' paradise" has suffered a
great decline in business recently.
The reason for it, we are told, is that
the dangers and difficulties of liquor -
running to the United States have be-
come too great.
A West Indian correspondent of the
London Observer blames the licensing
lie
authorities of Nassau for Binlini's bac!
name, It is not too much to say,
alleges, that they could smash the
bootlegging industry in Bimini if they
so wished.
Meanwhile, this informant goes on
to describe the island's shape as
roughly making the arc of a circle. At
its southern end is another small is-
land, we learn, thus forming an ideal
harbor with a narrow channel as en-
trance. The population of the settle-
ment around the harbor is given as
400 odd.. On the main front street,
Bay Street, it is related, there are five
liquor saloons and one licensed club.
We read then: - •
i uor
"Inf
the harbor there are twoq
barges, and one anchored schooner,
which serves the same purpose.
These barges are rectangular in
shape, being about fifty by thirty feet.
There are two houses in either barge,
one at each end. One serves as the
sleeping -compartments of the boot-
leggers, and the other as the ;dining-
roonh and kitchen. The space be-
tween the houses is open on either
side, and serves as a platform into
which the liquor is unloaded from the
Nassau schooners, and from which it
it loaded on to the Florida boats. Both
houses and platform are covered by a
common roof, giving the appearance
of a neat little cottage. •
"Underneath the houses, that is in
the hull of the vessel, several thous-
ands of cases of liquor can be stored,
so that there may be always a plenti-
ful supply on hand. In short the
barges and the schooner serve exactly
the same purpose as wholesale build-
ings on land, only their position in the
harbor so facilitates loading and un-
loading that the one warehouse on
land has practically ceased to do busi-
ness.
"The harbor is also dotted over by
some thirty motor -boats, averaging
about twenty-five feet in length; pos-
sessing powerful engines and capable
of carrying four hundred cases.
"Some of these boats are very fast,
and can reach the Florida coast in
two hours. These belong to the boot-
leggers in Miami, who employ young
men to pilot them anti shoot across
with loads according to orders. The
course of procedure is as follows:
"The owners of the barges live in
Nassau, and order the liquor from
England to that port. It arrives in
cases, and they repack it into sacks,
so that it can be handled with light-
ning speed. Each sack contains six
bottles.
"The sacks are then put aboard.
schooners, which convey the liquor
the 116 miles from Nassau to Bimini
(of course, there are other centres as
well as Bimini, but we are concerned
just now only with the latter). The
schooners draw up alongside the`
barges and unload. The American
bootleggers now do,_business with the
barges, each of which has a capable
man in charge. Thus far everything
is plain sailing.
"The greatest risks of all are taken
by the men who carry the liquor from
the barges to the coast of Florida.
'A' receives a cable from his employer'
in Miami to bring, say, '400 cases over
to -night' (there are two sacks in a
case). He loads up from a barge; and
at sunset speeds out of the harbor to
cross the Gulf.
"He has a certain rendezvous,
known to hint and his associates at
the other side—some point of land
or some creek,' perhaps ten or twenty
miles from Miami. Later on, when the
authorities have become suspicious of
this place, he will change it to an-
other. He unloads, and is told wheth-
er to bring a load the following night
or the next, or to wait another cable,"
This West Indian correspondent of
The Observer goes on to relate,that
the rum -runner then makes his way
back to Bimini, and at sunrise his

With fifteen years practical experi-

on an imperial committee to study the
meat supply of the British Empire,
Leonard Christie McOuat has recently

agent of the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way. He was born at St Andrews

returning from military service in the

as bacon specialist of the Dominion.

study of the British meat market, was
selected to join the first Imperial Ec-

which met in London in 1925. His

The Salada Tea Company, because
of the freezing over of Lake Erie, be-
tween Pelee and the mainland, recent-
ly shipped several hundred pounds of
tea by air, in order to replenish the
diminishing stock of a certain grocer
on the island.
There is no doubt that the aero-
plane is fast taking its Place as a

see some of our larger Canadian in-

portation in the name of service.

as though it had never left the harbor.
Probably he is now asleep on the
barge, this writer ventures, happy in
the fact that another sum has been
placed to his credit. Meanwhile his
load, we are told, has been met by a
motor -truck or by cars. If the load is
to go to Miami, it appears, a truck
takes it there. But sometimes, it
seems, a consignment is placed in the
back of a private car, and driven north
to some other city. The destination
of every sack is already arranged be-
fore the boats arrive, and we read:
"Perhaps half a dozen or more of
these boats will cross in one night, all
going to separate points along the
coast, and all being met as in the case
of 'A.' They set out knowing that
they may be discovered by. coast
guards in their patrol boats. If they
are discovered, and do not halt they
may be shot. If they are captured it
means five years' imprisonment and

Adult Suffrage
Alfred Zimmern in the Political
Quarterly (London) : The first general
election in which. the whole adult
population was eligible to vote was
also the quietest, the most intellectual
that has even taken place in Great
Britain. The reduction of the average
voting age was accompanied by an in-
creased seriousness. We seem to be
succeeding in de -emotionalizing party
politics What more need then to exer-
cise the old precautions to keep this
or that serious problem "out of poli-
tics?" To inject it into the political
arena niay soon become a means for
ensuring its really serious and effec-
tive treatment.

"They dare make the attempt only
during the dark period of the month.
In moonlight all boats lie up. They
also have to heave stormy seas. Some-
times boats go out and are never
heard of again. Frequently they are
captured. The other men only laugh,
and wonder when their time will
come.
"On the American side the authori-
ties often capture a load as it is going
to Miami or elsewhere..Bribery is re-
sorted to however, and the loads are
often allowed to pass through. The
liquor is stored in secret.
"An innocent -looking building may
be the home of some of it, or a harm-
less -looking restaurant adapted for
receiving and disposing of the liquor
may be able to provide. its clients. The
consumer will pay as much as ten dol-
lars a bottle for .it.
"It ought to be added that the boot-
legging business has diminished great-
ly in recent days. The dangers and
difficulties of smuggling the liquor to
America are so great.
"The Licensing Board in Nassau is
composed of the Receiver -General, the
Stipendiary Magistrate, and three
other persons, appointed annually by
the Government. Upon them rests
the responsibility of granting licenses
to the saloons and barges in Bimini,
and it is not-tdo much to say that they
have the power of smashing the boot-
legging business in that quarter.
"Why do they not use their power?
Every license is supposed to be greet-
ed On its merits. The average num-
ber for a settlement the size of Bimini
is .three, and this was the number
there previous to bootlegging days,
and even they were only small saloons
run by colored natives. At the pre-
sent time there. are nine licenses iu
Bimini, even though the original three
saloons are still sufficient to supply
the settlement.
"None of the licensed establish-
ments do a wholesale trade with any
surrounding settlements, because
there are none for many miles. .The
only place that the barges can do bug -
nese with is Florida—hence the boot•
leggiug.
"The Licensing Board appeal's to
close its eyes to the fact that an un-
limited quantity of liquor is being con-
veyed to a settlement for the sole pur-
pose of being smuggled into America
and violating the law of a friendly
country'."
