the Naval Academy last night, and six
marines hurried to the ship to arrest the
mutineers. 1t appears that an officer of
the ship ordered the matches battened
and yards braced to meet an expected
blow, and when the hatches went over
their breathing-holes the sailors below,
who it appears had broken into the liquor
chest and pantry, and with alcohol and
sugar had made toddy, rushed for the
upper deck. This demonstration the officer
construed as mutinous. The ships car
penter, boatswain, mate and seamen were
arrested, but have since been released.
