man. The vessel had her clearance
papers and was all ready to start on her

met other sailors on land, and proved a
Jolly party, every one of which was bent
on having a good time, During the even
ing a member of groggeries were visited,
and the sailors drained their mugs of
half-and half many times. Towards mid
night the crew, with their friends, all Of
whom were feeling very Jovial, started
down to the wharf, where the tars who
were TO leave the following morning in
tended To board their vessel. The sailors
were singing one of their favorite songs,
when an otfi ,er stopped the leaders and
ordered them TO be quiet. The tars did
not stop their singing and the officer took
hold OF the two men at the head OF the
procession to march them off 10 dun
yeon. The men refused TO go, and tight
followed, in which the policeman was
shot and ki..ed The report OF the pistol
attracted number OF officers to the scene
and the whole party was placed under
arrest.

ing, succeeded in getting two OF his men
released and shipped two new men Tor
the voyage. The other two members OF
the crew were held at st. Mark for trial.

quarters do not show what disposition
was made OF the case. About nine

ceived photograph of the wemAn from
