VERY BAD SAILORS -Yesterda afternoon
the brig Cascatelle was lying in the stream,
ready to go to sea. While waiting to sail the
crew Struggled some liquor on board and got
very drunk. As natural consequence they
got into fight and for while made things
very lively. One man, who was closely pur-
sued, Jumped overheard, but he had no sooner
touched the water than his pursuers followed
him, and they had a skirmish then and there.
Ropes were finally lowered to them and they
came on board wetter and soberer men. One
of them was enraged at a remark made by the
second mate, and he struck him with file,
ipficting bad wound in his arm. The men
were put in irons.
