West Coast liquor fleet blocks maneuvers off California
Los Angeles and San Pedro report a rum fleet of at least six oceangoing carriers cruising the coast. Liquor valued at 100000 was landed from the fleet and secret caches are believed hidden in Los Angeles. Speedy motor launches operate between the port and San Diego to run the blockade while radio codes are used to coordinate with federal agents. Water taxis near dusk were unusually missing as police acknowledge limited power to curb runners on land.
