Hunting Contraband Opium

Hunting contraband opium is a game of hide-and-seek with the United States customs officers and the smugglers. One of the last great finds was in the deep, dark forepeak of the Japanese liner America Maru, floating in tanks of water and accessible only through a small hole. Sealed tin cans to the amount of $27,000 were seized, aggregating $85,000 in the last six months.
