Yarmouth, n. s., of $50 tons, lay at Antwerp,
| in ballast, and wanting a crew Her captajn
was Stanley Hatfield a Canadian. the tirst mate
was Joseph Wortley an IriShman, and the
second mate Richard Mcdonald. an English
man. AT Antwerp Il man named Constant Won
H0ydonck was engaged Us steward, with his as
sistant, Il lad named TrOuSselot.

! members Of which (Wth one eXeeption) were
foreigners OF four different nationulites-Greek,
| Turkish, Italian and Austrian.

Me sailed from Antwerp on the 23d OF October,
| bound ior New Orleans. All went well until
the 3l>t of October. with the exception indeed,
| OF Il marked tendency TO ll-ieeling and bad
blood on the part of the crew against the Off
| -ers. Early on the morning of that day, how
! ever, all hands being on deck, except the stew
| ard aud his assistant, the captain ordered the
ship to be put about. The order was obeyed
j IN lubberls manner, which apparently excited
| lbe Ire and contempt OF the skipper, who, after
the manner OF his race, rated the crew in terms
| more forclble than elegant calling Them. among
other things, mo sailors but pack of soldiers"

| dering tire OF mutiny. P4scaes Calatis, alias
Big Harry" whipped out his knife and struck
| it mo the captains stomach. The captain, who
had left both his revolvers below, turned 10 fee
| from his assassin round the cabin house, but
| was stopped by Mattco CargullS, alias French
