Show HI SMUGGLER'S LUCK. HV Nearly nil tho air of adventure i Hi lias gone out of tho present day cor- I HB snir, if tho contemporary Algerian B smuggler can he so described. An HJ incident took place, recently, how- B ever, which has just a dash of the 1 1 old careless humor about it. Five M smugglers of mixed Spanish blood B had loaded n barkentino with Alge- H rian tobacco for Majorca, nnd, lying K snug under Point Pcscades, on the m west Algerian const, waiting for a M breeze, they settled down to n cozy B nap. Some few miles away on the B Deux Moulins Rock is a little coast- 1 guard station, where the otliccrs, nil B npparently being quiet, were nlso B taking n siesta. From somo cause M the ropo holding the smugglers' boat H to the Ehoro broke nnd she drifted, M ' with the men btill nslecp, on the M Deux Moulius Pock. Here she m stranded, nnd the cu-mnis oflie'ers, B lousing from their sleep to help n H distressed crew, found that luck had H drifted a raro prize into their hands. |
