A Bootlegger’s Paradise In The
Bahamas
I
Nassau, the ancient and rath
| ev prim town in the Bahama
Islands, has become famous as
the home port of “mystery
shins,v’ and smugglers, an alco
holic “boom town” where -is
leathered a collection of rum
runners, pirates, and assorted
tough citizens fit to grace the
liction of Stevenson, Bret Harte
or O. Henry.
On the city’s “inadequate
docks,*’ runs the report, “in
forty bonded warehouses, in
private dwelling-houses out of
which citizms h ive been hulled,
in a hundred cellars once given
ove to sisal, sponges and like
native produce, in hotels that
never were filled even in the
brief B drama season, in caves
that once sheltered pirates and
their exaggerated loot, and on
scattered units of this lonely
j British archipelago, is stacked
I net ween $3 00u,000 and Si 0,000.
OOP worth of hard liquor waiting
to be whisked into the United
states ”
Goo i whiskey is sold lor $1 j
per c is i.
Private yachts of American
millionaires, dropping in to
t ike a supply ol' drinkables, j
mingle with the strange pi rati I
cal-looking craft in the harbor, j
Murders are considered “only i
trifling affairs” since the liq
uar runners “ see no harm in
slaying dry spies.”
Since liquor became halt of its
total trade the place has grown
“rich and gilded,” and, die in
habitants boast, “it is the on 1^
British colony without a public
debt. ”
