In a daring midnight raid off the Jersey coast, the United States Coast Guard cutter Seminole captured the notorious rum runner Mary J. Gully, unloading 1500 cases of high-octane bootleg whisky valued at $55,000. The haul is considered one of the biggest in recent memory, and a major blow to the bootlegging syndicates that have been flooding the streets of New York with illicit liquor.
