The prevailing South Westerly winds enabled a fast sea passage from the big contraband warehouses less than 100 miles away across the channel. The numerous sandy beaches were safe places to land cargo, unseen by a poorly staffed and financed Revenue Service, and there were quiet, fast tracks along which to transport the goods inland to towns and cities where a sympathetic and eager market awaited them.* This is a NEAR FINE copy of the 1st thus. 2nd. reprintl, with minimal cover faults reducing it to VG++.*
