July 23. Four speedy auxiliary Fchooiiere, two-masted and each etii!tpp(l with a pair of flfty hor.sepower engines, ore landing 12,000 cases of good Irish and Scotch whisky at this resort or In nearby watern every month. That is the ussertlon of men who ar "in the know" here. They have tbi facts at their fingers ends. It Is knows that the whisky cargoes, immensely val tiahle, arc taken on at the ISahamaa, where good Irish and Scotch whisky, tlie real thing, may he bought for $16 a case. It is known that they are brought to a point just outside the three-mile limit off Atlantic City and there transferred to swift bank boats, long, low-fying craft capable of living In almost any sea and ordinarily used in tlie far lcs lucrative fishing trade. How Volstead Is Defied It is known where these bank boats land their precious liquid freight. It doesn't all come Jo Atlantic City, but this resort gets its fair share and. as every one knows, the visitor need not go "dry" on nny part of the island If lie Is properly vouched for. There Is plenty of information to ba had in Atlantic City concerning the methods nnd organization of the "whisky syndicate." As carried on, the modern rum-running trade is In vested with all the excitement and romantic glamor of the smuggling along the EnglMi coast In ancient days. As of jore. it is a job for "a dirty night in the dark of the moon." Different Contraband Hut, instead of the square-built lug ger standing in to some hidden cove ot a rock-bound coast, and casks of rum or hogshead of tobacco ferried ashore In a Jolly-boat manned by rufliar.i wearing tarred pigtails and cutlnsses, the deep-sea yacht and the swift powerboat, the wireless and the speedy motorcar are figuring in the contraband trade. The hazardous, fascinating and ex tremely lucrntlve trade of saving parched Americans with the price from d,ing of thirst, Is sold to be directed by a sjndicate of wealthy men, som? of them New Yorkers, some l'hllndel phinns and some all-year residents of Atlantic City. "Just wait 'till the names of the Atlantic City men get out," the wls ones nre saying at the resort, "ani then won't there be n howl." Crew Takes All the Chances According to the accepted story, which is traceable to a mini believed to bo vety close to the trade, tlie cap tains of the ships which bring tlie liquor to the Atlantic seaboard are "declared in" on tlie profits. Tlie syndicate fur nishes the bouts, bujs the stores and gasoline, pujs the crew and takes all financinl risk. The captain nnd the crew brave the dangers of tlie sea or of a brush with an armed revenue cutter. They tnke chances on wind and weather on the black nights when their craft is hove to in the trough of a dirty sea and the precious cases of whisky are transferred one by one to waiting power boats. ltut they nre well paid for the chances they take. The captain helps cut the big melon: the crew, though down In the articles at seamen's wages, have a private agreement, it is said, whereby they split a "pool" after every trip, the pool being "sweetened" by the ounor.s with S'J for encli cns .nrrln.l As big juclits and auxiliary schooners are used, wiui n capacity ot .mm) cases of liquid cargo a trip, tlie crew's earn ings nre very considerable. A Snug Uttlc Profit The whisky, bought at $10 a cape, it sqid to be sold for .J I a case wholesale by tlie svndicate to bootleggers and sa loons. This, after paying the crew $2 a case, would leave $0 a case tn cover expenses ami provide profits for the shareholders in tlie ship. Kighteea thousand dollars n trip might be re garded ns a prctt fair amount, espe cially as a round trip enn be made In a month with little trouble. The run- (unlimiril on Tnur Tnn.
