BOOZE BULLETS,AND THE COASTIES: RUMRUNNERS AT WAR!

摘要

Boatswain Teevens, the skipper of the 75-foot Coast Guard Cutter CG-236, was angry. Day after day and night after night, he had taken his patrol boat out in search of "rummies." Other boats from the New London, Connecticut, Coast Guard base had captured rumrunners, but Teevens still had not made his first arrest. Finally, Teevens approached the commanding officer of the New London base, Commander Fred H. Young, and stated bluntly that,* "I am going out tonight and will, stay out until I get something." Commander Young, sensing Teevens' deep end bitter frustration, allowed him to take his boat out on yet another patrol and added, "You are on your own until you tiring one, in. Good luck to you."
