SMUGGLERS "Mystery Ships" & Light Signals from Shore.

Stories of a great increase in the volume of smuggling, and the re- vival of the old-time gangs, since tariffs came into operation, are be- ing whispered around various parts of the coast, but are officially denied. Strange craft, it is asserted, have been seen leaving silently at night on unknown excursions, and return- ing as silently two or three hours later at unfrequented parts of the coast.

"Many of the old fishing villages seem to be specially suited to the operations of smugglers," the Eve- ning Standard was informed.

"In one favourite resort of the amugglers of former days many of the quaint old 'streets are so narrow that goods can easily be handed across the street from the upper windows.

"The houses are described as hav- ing been specially built for smug. gling purposes, and Bome of the houses are so very weirdly con- structed that they would provide a of concealing contra- good means band goods.
