Unless convoyed, con-voyed, it is said, a shipment stands j little chance of coming through Intact. Tre robbers seem well organized and (armed and often so numerous as to jrcsisi arrest. v Gift cargoes from other European states seem the favorite plunder and, I according to report, much of the stolen 'goods has been found for sale in the open market. A large consignment of this character charac-ter from Sweden arrived this week and when the well arranged food parcels, par-cels, containing Hour, fats and other staples, were opened it was found tliar a portion of the fat and flour had been skillfully removed from each package and a sack of Austrian salt substituted to make u,p the requisite weight. 00 |
