| 27 THE OSHAWA TIMES, sonar September 9, 1964 Smugglers Still Use Dark Coves By DOUG MARSHALL LONDON (CP)--It was after dusk in a craggy cove along the coast of Devon. Two mén, working. furtively and swiftly, were transferring) sacks and cases from a fishing smack to the beach, Some of the cases were suspiciously stamped "Dunkerque." Above them, on a headland, two customs officers disguised watehed the opera- tion through binoculars. On the stroke of midnight the customs me" (ihertees. 'ad tmeennded ca 268 bottles of ot whisky and 74,000 cigarettes. It sounds like an episode from @ bay's adventure tale but it hi ned earlier this sum- mer. The smugglers were each sentenced to six months in prison and fined £1,392 -- the equivalent of single duty on the goods. The capture reduced the local fishing fleet at Teign- mouth from four to three boats. OLD PROFESSION Although many people in Teignmouth and neighboring vil- lages professed shock and sur. prise that such things should happen in their law + abiding communities, there are reports that news of the raid caused several hundred bottles of good liquor to disappear down a va- riety of drains. As innumerable legends tes- tify, smuggling has been almost a profession in Devon since the first commissioner of customs was appointed in 1671, An isolated coast, riddied with secluded inlets and con- venient caves, is perfect smug- gling territory; a cavalier tra- dition of seamanship dating back to Drake, plus a seasoned contempt for the laws of for- eign" England, are the remain- ing incentives. The Teignmouth raid shows that the customs and excisé men haven't forgotten the old Devonshire tradition, even in these days of highly-organized smuggling through crowded ports and airports or by fast yachts and private planes. "We call this old - fashioned smuggling,"said a spokesman at the customs headquarters in London. "There hasn't been much of it since the war but we have to keep a lookout for it just the same." LITTLE GETS THROUGH Despite the advanced tech- niques most smugglers now use, not much gets through the defensive network manned by the 2,500 preventive officets of the customs waterguard serv- ice, In 1068 they caught 1,945 smugglers, pr 67 to prison for varying. terms and confiscated goods worth £114,500, Their main achievement was to crack a professional ting running con- traband watches into Britain on a ¢ommercial scale, More than 32,000 watches were confiscated and 90 smugglers sent to jail. Besides watches, liquor and tobacco, items usually smug- gied in large quantities are cameras, cigarette lighters, drugs and pornographic litera- ture, Even if the professional smug- glets get théir goods past the customs net, they still have to dispose of it, That's where most of them fall down. Somebody always gossips. And that's. why, down in Teignmouth today, the old hands are saying two good fish- ermen wouldn't be rotting in jail if someone had kep: his mouth shut, Newltie Visit For Princess LONDON (CP)--Theé Princess Royal leaves here Sept. 11 on the royal yacht Britannia for a niné-day visit to Newloundiand.
