LASSITUDE & LONGITUDE S there seems to be a certain and well-defined interest in Rum Row and rum-running—or, at t, interest in certain of its terminal pha steamship company has finally decided to put the Home of Rum Row on their list of ports of call. The Home is none other than the tiny islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon, just off Newfoundland. For years, the French inhabitants of these islands have just been fish- ing, but 1920 established a new in- dustry far them. So, in case you have y curiosity about how a Rum tow s the liners Fort St. George and Nerissa will be glad to oblige all summer, In the latter part of June, these two steamers will start calling at St. Pierre Miquelon on their regular twelv y triangular cruises from New York to Halifax and St. John’: Newfoundland. The Fort St. George, by the way, is a former Bermuda ship, while the Nerissa has always been running up North with an o casional trip to the West Indies. The price for these trips, with a s. ing a week, is a hundred dollars, which includes everything, with time for light and fan y ing at all three ports. Calling in the head of our Peering Behind-the-Scenes Department, we managed to obtain a brief word p ture of St. Pierre Miquelon. The pi ture was divided into two general parts, the latter part being merely the simple statement—‘“and they also do a lot of fishing. For cod, I think.” We'll let that part stand for itself. In 1920—or a little bit later— some bright mind with a professional standing in the Rum _ business, thought of St. Pierre Miquelon, its handiness to the American sho or strand, we might but won't say, and a whole lot of other things. In a short time, these two small islands began to sprout warehouses where liquor was—and is stored—between Coast Guard statements telling how Rum Row has been driven from the seas. This liquor is then, with care, haste and. slight larceny—loaded aboard schooners and other vessels and taken down the coast for land- ings in the United State Then, in you are more interested in how it ends, rather than in how it starts, squadrons of small fast motorboats leave the ships—all at the same time. The theory is, that if a flock of these motorboats buzz through the Coast Guard lines at the same time, some may be caught, but the majority will get through? The former are merely charged to profit and loss, as these —a hardy souls quaintly describe the ac- tion, while the ones that get through arrive to lay the foundation, or c on the good work of speakea accounts all over the country. At any rate, the Fort St. George and Nerissa will be busy all summer paying visits—the first liners that) have ever made this regular port of call—with a chance to visit New- foundland, a country that hi; be- come rather submerged by acting as a turning point for trans-Atlantic aviators In case you do not wish to stay with the steamer and return to New York—calls are made at Halifax both yvays—you may leave the ship at John's, Newfoundland, and take another ship from this port that will carry you up the St. wrence, call-| ing at Charlottetown, and then on to Montreal. The time, from New York to Montreal, is twelve days- and the price the same as the other cruise, one hundred dollars. Add fifteen dollars for the railroad fare from Montreal to New York, and the works is $115. The trip up the) St. Lawrence takes a little more than | four days. —J. T. P. IR.
