HAUL OF OPIUM.
DISCOVERY ON ISLAND. SINGAPORE,, Oct. 29. Customs officers discovered 31 petrol tins full of opium buried in a cave on an uninhabited island. The officers had been searching for weeks among hundreds of islands and along miles of coastline, but the task was hazardous owing to sharks, octopi, crocodiles, and dense jungle. It is believed there are several other caches along the coast.
