Wednesday night as the bark s. R. Bearce,
of Philadelphia, was coming into the hsrbor,
the crew were ordered by the captain to take
in sail, The crew paid no attention to the
order, The captain then seeing the vessel
would run on to Ram Island, told the helms
man to stand off. The helmsman refused to
obey the order, whereupon the captain pushed
him aside and with the assistance of the mate,
kept the vessel away till the tug Scott, Capt
Began, came along. Capt. Began sung out to
take in sail and the crew obsyed him, and the
vessel was taken out Of danger. As the bark
neared the Portland Conpany's wharf, the
crew all made off in boat belonging to a
boarding house keeper that came alongside.
The captain has, probably, put this case in the
hands of the authorities. Il is said the men
were shipped for the voyage and paid In adj
vance, but claimed further allowance, which
was refused.
