ing offense which the law cannot over
look. In the name of humanity the
McCalla inquiry should be prosecuted
until the bottom is reached, and II h
facts are as they seem to be, severest
punishment should be meted out.
Every little while cases more or less
similar to the McCalla case are brought
to light, but failing to attract such
general attention are permitted to be
shelved. The sailing schooner Mary
Ellen which put into the harbOr of
Victoria last Friday is not an uncom-
non illustration. The crew are unani-
nous in speaking of i'll. treat ment by
the captain, and tell a tale which, ii
true, shows that the life of a sailor on
the Mary Ellen is not a happy one.
The schooner, which belongs at Vic
toria, sailed from San Francisco, with
the usual complement of hunters and
twelve sailors. The cruise was I'M
eventful and everything went smoothly
until the sth of February, when row
occurred and one of the sailors, Patrick
Murphy, who was at the wheel at the
time. says Captain Mclean assaulted
him and tried to throw him overheard.
Considerable trouble ensued and guns
were drawn, but no great damage was
done and the affair blew ove On the
18th of March another row occurred.
The men were hauling down the jib
and one of them got into an alteration
with the captain. when the sailor was
struck over the head with an iron be-
laying pin, and severely hurt. \ man
named Thomas Cunningham says he
vas also struck by the captain. After
this row the men were told to eat their
meals aft, and on Directing were told
by Captain Mclean that they would
have TO eat wherever he said, and If
they would not he would shut off work.
This threat he carried out. and since
the 18th the men have been doing moth
ing, the hunters working the vessel.
The men assert that no food was al
lowed them and all they have had to
eat was some hard bread found in the
hold, together with a small sack of
cornmeal. The latter they cooked in a
tin cup over the forecastle lamp, as the
cook had orders not to give them access
TO the galley. Upon arrival in port the
men secured the services of a lawyer
and will have the matter brought be-
fore the courts.
Any dimunition of the power vested
i'm sea captains cannot be advocated
upon good grounds. But they should
be taught that they themselves are
ameniable to law and must render a
clean account of their stewardship or
suffer punishment commensurate with
their abuse of power.
