TACOMA (W. To September 23d.-The
Captain of the bark Zoila, which left yes
terday for Dublin, has published in the
London Shipping NetoS a very one-sided
account of the trouble with the Ia
coma Mill Company. The facts are
that the Captain could have loaded
his vessel easily within the time al
lowed by the contract had he wished, but
seemed TO be working for demurrage and
refused to load unless the lumber was fur
nished other than called for by the specif.
cations. After the time expired he claimed
his demurrage, and when refused he closed
his matches and threatened to sail with part
OF the cargo. The mill company thereupon
libelled the ship in Court. The Captain
then reopened the matches and finished
the cargo, but published biased account
OF the affair to the owners of the vessel for
his long delay at Tacoma,
