Another tale involved a rum-running vessel called the Tina #11. Assigned to meet another rum-running vessel twelve miles off North Lake , the boat, which was mastered by two brothers, experienced power failure, encountered a storm, and drifted out to sea for four days. A ship from Sorel, Quebec , called the Sanfonia rescued them. The Sanfonia picked up the brothers from the Tina #11 at midnight on the 25th October 1934, twenty-seven miles off Shipwreck Point, Naufrage . (59) Patrol boats were common in coastal waters. But could do little unless within the three mile limit. Government jurisdiction was often less than efficient and many times the officers lacked the interest in men who were doing little more than "pandering to human weaknesses and desires." (60) This opinion had existed since the initiation of rum running: The rum sellers, who in most instances, are carrying on their nefarious traffic in poisonous drugs as publicly as if they had full authority from high sources. The appointment of these luke-warm Inspectors under the Scott Act , does not appear to retard or frighten them to any degree. (61) On August 6th 1938, officials from Halifax seized the Nellie J. Banks as it hovered within twelve miles off the Island's north shore. The schooner's captain was arrested for having contraband goods in his possession contrary to the Custom 's Act . The vessel was "unceremoniously" towed to Charlottetown after having served twelve years in the rum running business. (62) This was the last vessel to operate off the Island's shores, marking the end of Prince Edward Island 's rum running days. 79
