!Mies from the coast of 1 1nrhda,
Nevertheless, it is reported this
'bootleggers' paradise' has udfered a
great decline In hasluess recently,
The reason for it, we are told, is that
the danger's and 111118ulties of liquor -
running to the tinned States have be-
come too great,
A West lndhun eoueitptindent of the
London Observer blames the lteeusiug
authorities of Nan -'au for B101181's bot
name, it 18 not too 11111811 to say, he
alleges, that they could smash the
bootlegging Industry in Bimini if lhcY
s0 wished,
i(leanwhilo, this informant goes on
to describe the island's shape as
roughly malting the arc of a circle, At
its 8011hern cud is another 0011111 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 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."

The Observer goes on to relate that

Leading Agriculturist
with fifteen years practical experi-

on an imperial committee to study the

Leonard Christie McOuat has recently

at McGill University, t
returning from military service In the

as 1100011 it had never left the harbor.
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,"
