Rum Row Surrender Before Dry Offensive on Atlantic Seaboard
Outlaw Fleet Has Disappeared Only Six Vessels Remaining of Forty-two
United Desert
New London, United States May 15- Row run off New York has almost completely surrendered before the coast guard's smashing campaign. Of 42 rum runs hissing hovering off the port when the "dry" offensive opened a week ago, only six vessel remain, according to official service reports reaching headquarters here. A majority of the smuggers have shifted their base of operations to the southern New England coast, where a second phase of the coast guard's maneuvers now open. The departing rum ships are dogged by coast guard marches who they go.
Their final abandonment of the coast is expected to be followed by a break up of the liquor traffic's shore organization.
Once the shore organization is broken up, it is believed, it will be difficult for the big smugglers to reconstitute it.
The next development of the "dry naval campaign", it is anticipated, will be extension of the blockade of the New England coast. It is hoped the rum fleet gradually will be brought to Cape Cod and into the open sea.
Coast guard officials estimate that all told 380 rams ships have been engaged in amoungling since trade rise from the Atlantic seabound became popular.
So rigid has been the blockade, that it is reported skippers of rum ships are offering to swap cases of fire with newspapers to learn what is going on.
Sixteen rum bounties at anchor here were seized during the winter camp campain and 14,000 cases of choice liquora are under customs seal.
An official inspection party left here aboard the coast guard cutter Pequot, for a three day survey of the situation along Rum Row.
