The libel of forfeiture alleges three grounds: First, that the vessel was altered in form, rigging, and fitting, and no new license was thereafter procured; second, that the vessel smuggled foreign whisky from a point on the high seas in June, 1929, in September, 1929, and on or a.bont October 5,1929; and landed same in the United Stales in the Southern District of Texas; and, third, that the vessel was engaged in trade other than that for which she was licensed. The proof does not support the first ground of forfeiture, but the other two grounds are fully sustained.
