A Smuggling
. . . Episode
[OrKtoaL]
Tb?r* U on the northern part of Man
hattan Island an eminence called Fort
George. When General Washington re
treated from Long Island, he took up a
temporary position there while his tired
army recuperated. Now the place Is a
summer restaurant where people go to
dine on the hroad plaiias and enjoy the
view. One evening two men were sit
ting on the veranda next the wall of
the house. Through a window beside
them they could hear the orchestra
playing lusWls and look at the pano
rama without. They were talking In a
very low tone.
"Now that the Job Is finished and
we're rich I'd like to hear about your
early efforts In the same direction."
said one to the other.
They were uot very successful. You
see, every way of couooallng diamonds
for smuggling purposes on the persou
Is pretty well known to the customs
men. I Invented some of them or
thought I did, but others had either
used them or soon got on to them. The
ttrst I tried was cultivating my hair to
grow straight up on my head and con
cealing diamonds there. But on one
trip several of us were suspected and
searched. Seeing the searcher go
through the hair and beard of one of
the party diamonds were found In his
beard 1 was obliged to part with my
stock In a hurry through a crack in the
floor. This was a dead loss of $10,000.
"My next venture was having boot
heels made hollow, and In each heel I
successfully brought through $10, <100 of
geuis, which helped me out of my pre
vlous loss. I would have tried It ngalu,
but beard that the detectives had got
on to the scheme.
"On my next trip I took my wife with
me, I ml when we returned she had on
a hat adorned with a dozen of the
prettiest red cherries you ever saw, and
in each, cherry was a diamond The
scheme would have worked well if alio
had come through alone. Unfortunate
ly 1 was recognised as having been sns
ted on previous occasions, and this
Involved her. We were both searched,
and the women who examined her
went straight for the chortles.
"I had good success In liavlng the
works of a tiny lady's watch put Into a
good sited chronometer. This left a
fine space around the works for Jewels,
and I Oiled It up. Rut on this occasion
I could have bad the diamonds any
where, for I was disguised and went
through without being suspected.
"At last the customs officers got to
examining everything man or woman
could wear that could be made hollow,
and I concluded to get up a dodge by
which the Jewels could be brought
through without being subject to ex
amluatlon. I taxed my Ingenuity to the
utmost, but could devise no way with
out taking in a confederate. I knew
you and had confidence in your being
straight. As for nerve or sleight of
hand or auytblng like that, the case
didn't require it. The beauty of the
scheme was that I could briug as many
diamonds as 1 liked.
"You know the rest I took passage
from New York and before leaving the
wharf at Southampton engaged a re
turn berth and at once cabled you lu
New York the number of my berth,
which you secured for next trip out
When I went aboard again with $200,
000 worth of diamonds, I knew Just
where I was to put them. 1 had a car
penter"s bit, a uarrow saw and a pot of
paint During the trip I took up a sec
tlou of the stateroom floor and chucked
In the diamonds. O* course as an old
suspect when 1 went ashore I was
searched. But as the diamonds were
still on the ship I didn't mind a little
thing Uke that, though I went off with
the usual ludlgnatiou at being taker
for a smuggler..
"I confess I was a little nervous the
day you sailed. I knew you had the
room all right but 1 feared some slip
You see a big part of half a million
was at stake. Wheu your wife and
daughters, after seeing you off, came
In with the bags in their pockets and
told bow tbey had cried over you and
waved to you and all that 1 was bap
py as a king. I knew that I must con
real the haul somewhere till your re
turn or longer, for that matter, and
concluded there was no safer place
than on my own person. No one Is go
ing to molest me. The only fear for a
smuggler Is coming ashore with the
goods on him."
The dinner being finished, the two
men lighted cigars, sipped their coffee
and leaued back in their chairs with
the comfortable feeling of having
staked all on a chance and won.
"Shall we divide now?" asked the lis
tener.
"Just as you like. I've got two bags
in my pocket of equal value. I'll take
out my handkerchief. In It will be oue
of the bags. I'll toss the handkerchief,
with the bag. carelessly into my hat
Wheu we leave, you take my hat In
stead of your own."
The feat was executed. Just as the
men were about to rise two arms
reached from the window and grasped
their coat collars. At the same time a
man dining at a neighboring tuble
arose, advanced and clapped a pair of
bracelets on each.
The change from the satisfied expres
sion on the smugglers' faces to abject
misery was something to be remem
bered.
Later on the detective informed them
how be got on to them.
"I was cabled from Southampton by
a confederate detective that you bad
goue on board witb a large amount lu
diamonds. When you went ashore and
1 dldu't find them. I was uonplused.
But 1 knew tbey were somewhere, and
J'tre been shadowing you ever since."
"SmuKKMug's played out. You've got
the thin*; down too flue."
