Carrying Concealed Weapons on the RMS Adriatic

A CABIN psssenger on the Adriatic, White Star Line, with the historical name of Smith, was arrested at Queenstown last month for having a revolver concealed on his person. This little imprudence cost him and mention is here made as a hint to " those about to sail for Europe."
