DRY SHIP ABSURDITIES.
PASSENGERS WELL SUPPLIED. OWN STOCKS TAKEN. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Reed. 11.8 p.m.) LONDON, July 17. Curious anomalies continue in consequence of the application of the United States liquor law to ships. The Cunard liner Albania arrived at Plymouth "bone dry." Even the medical store was exhausted after three days, but the ship carried a cargo of 100 barrels of rye whisky • for the English market. The United States liner Leviathan left Southampton officially "dry," but the passengers took huge supplies of liquor for their own consumption. One was seen helping a porter to carry three cases of whisky aboard.
