Instead of using sail and row-boats, the smuggler of today pursues his trade in dodging revenue officers by means of swift motor yachts or shallow- draneht motor boats which can enter and leave secret coves almost forgot- ten by the present generatoin, With the abolition of almost all of the coast-guard service, there are long stretches of coast not so carefully wat- ched as' formerly, and the "free trad- ers" are reaping a rich harvest in landing cargoes of wines, spirits, to- bacco and silks. Motor cars are then brought into service and the goods rushed to various parts of the country for quick sale. Rye in Sussex, Maldon in Essex, Poole Harbor in Dorset, Deal and Sandwich on the Kent Coast all have centuries old association with smugg- ling and it is at these spots where most of the smuggled goods are landed from Boulogne, calais, and Scheveningen in Holland. Many of the goods are stored in little sheds on the East Coast of Eng- land until - a market can be found. Others are taken direct to London and disposed of. As much as $1,000 a week is said to be made by one motor-yacht owner who hasn't the same fear of being hanged as his forbears were if caught.
