The population of the settle- ment around the harbor is given as 400 odd. On the main froth street, Bay Street, it is related, there are five liquor saloons and one licensed club. We read then: "In the harbor there are two liquor barges and one anchored schooner, which serves the same purpose. These bargee are rectangular in shape, being about fifty by thirty feet, There aro t.wo houses in either barge, 0110 at each end. One serves as the sleeping -compartments of the boot- leggers, and the other as the dining - room and kitchen, The space lie- twedn the houses 18 ope0 on either side, and serves as a platform into which the liquor Is unloaded from the Nassau 00110oners, and from which ft it loaded on to the Florida boats, I3ot10 houses and platform are covered by a common roof, giving the a1)80arallce of a neat little cottage, "Underneath the houses, that Is In the huh1 a the vessel, several thous- ands of crises of liquor can he 01are11, 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 laud, only their position 1n the harbor so facilitates londhng and un- loading that the one warehouse on land has practically ceased to do [nisi - 11U -0. "The harbor Is also dotted over by some thirty motor -boats, averaglug about twenty-five feet in length, pos. scoffing powerful engines and capable of carrying four hundred cases, "Soule of these boats are very fast, and can reach the Florida coast In two hours. These belong to tho boot- leggers in Miami, who employ young mon to pilot them and shoot across with loads according to ode's. The course of procedure Is as follows: "The owners of the barges live In Nassau, and order the liquor from England to that port. 1t arrives in cases, and they repack It Into sacks, so that it cart be handled with light- ning speed. Each sack contains six bottles. "The sacits are then put ' aboard schooners, which convey the liquor the 11G miles from Nassau to Bimini (of course, there are other centres 88 well as 131mlit 1, but we are concerned just now only with the latter), The schooners draw up alongside the barges and unload. Tho 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 aro taken by the men who carry the liquor from the barges to the coast or Florida, 'A' receives a cable from bis employer in Miami to bring, say, '400 cases over to night (thee are two sacks in a case). IIe loads up from a barge, and et sunset speeds out at the harbor to cross the Gulf. "I -I0 has a certain rendezvous, known to 11101 and 1110 associates at the other side—some point of land or some creels, 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. Do unloads, and is told whetil• er to bring a load the following night or the next, or to waft another cable." This West Indian corespondent of The Observer goes on to relate that the rum -runner then makes 1110 way back to 131111101, and at sunrise hi, Oxcarts and Aeroplanes It lo a far cry from the slow -mo' - Ing, primitive, high -wheeled cart, haul- ed by oxen along the roads of Ceylon, to a speedy aeroplane In the winter sky over Lake Erie, but many of the People en Pelee Island are now drink- ing tea, carried there by air, that jog- gled along In an oxcart 0011er a front - cal s1111 111 Ceylon only a few weeks ago. The Salado, Tea Company, because of the freezing over of Lake Erie, be- tween Pelee and the mainland, recent- iy shipped several hunched pounds of tea by air, 1n order to replenish the ltintlnislhing stock of a certain grocer out the island.

Probably he is now asleep on the barge, this writer ventures, happy 10 the foot that another stun has been placed to 1110 credit Meanwhile his load, we aro 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 ate Tal', and driven north to some other city. The destination of every sack is already arranged be- fore the moats arrive, and we read: "Perhaps 11011 a dozen or more of these boats will cross in one night, all going to epa'ate points along the coast, and all being not as in the case of 'A,' They set out !mowing that they may he discovered by coast guards in their patrol floats. If they a'0 discovered, and do not halt they may ho shot. If they are captured it means five yea's' imprisonment and a tive-thousand-dollar fine for a lust of- fence (the employer always pays the latter), "They dare make the attempt only during the dark period of the month, in 1100011110111 all boats lie up. They also have to brave 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 001100. "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 1t, 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 1.00001 days. The clangers 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 tho Government. Upon then) rests the responsibility of granting licenses to the saloons and barges in Blnlhni, and it is not too 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 grant- ed on its merits. The average num- ber for a settlement the size of Bimini 10 three, and 11110 was the number there previous to bootlegging (lays, and even they were only small saloons run by colored natives. At the pre- sent time ther0 are nine licenses in Bimini, even though the original three ealoon0 are still sufficient to supply the settlement. "Noun of the licensed establish- ments do a wholesale trade with any surrounding settlements, because there are nolo for many miles, The only place that the barges can do busi- ness with is Florida—hence the boot- legging. "Tho Licensing Board appears to close its eyes to the fact that an un- limited quantity of liquor is being con- veyed to a settlement for the solo pur- pose of being smuggled Into America and violating the law of a friendly country," NO MEDICINE LIKE BABY'S OWN TABLETS What the Public Wants Y.
