INVESTIGATING THE SINKING OF BRITISH VESSEL International Aspect of the Incident is Causing Concern CAPTAIN IS BITTER Case Hinges on Position of Rum-Runner When First Sighted (By Canadian Press) New Orleans, La, Mar. 25-- Whether international complications would arise from the sinking of the British schooner "I'm Alone" by the United States coast guard today rest- ed upon establishment of the exac position of the schooner when sight- ed by the law enforcement boats. Coast guardsmen at a preliminary hearing have testified the alleged rum runner was well within the 12 mile limit while the " master of the "I'm Alone" staunchly maintains he was well without it. Representatives of Great Britain, France and the United States are studying the facts of the case oday. Federal officers say if the sunken ship was first sighted within 12 miles of the shores of the United 'States coast guard boats were within the law when they pursued her into the gulf and sunk her when she refused to stop on command. Captain John Thomas Randall, Canadian skipper of the "I'm Alone," is bitter in his denunciation of the coast guard's action and has likened it unto sub- marine warfare in the last war and declares it to be a violation of the freedom of the seas. Captain Randall freely admits his ship had 2,400 cases of liguor aboard when she went down. He scoffed at the idea he carried aliens or mar- cotics as is suspected by federal offi- cers. The coast guard cutters Dexter and Walcott arrived here yester: with' Capt. Randall and his crew of seven in irons. With them came the body of Leon Maingay, French Seaman aboard the "I'm Alone," who lost his life when the schooner went down under shell fire from the Dexter. No British Statement London, Mar 25---The British foreign office will make no statement or unofficial coment concerning the sinking of the British schooner "I'm Alone" by a United States coastguard vessel until it receives a full report from Sir Esme Howard, the British ambassador at Washington. However the affair appears to Bri- tish officials as a most serious rum running incident if unofficial 'reports thus 'far received should prove cor- rect. The foreign office has been advised of the sinking. and informed that Sir Esme has asked the state department for full details which have been promised him.
