according to Herr Mohr idea, and he mounted
q cask and told his fellows IN the steerage OF
the rights and pr ivilegcs they should enjoy.
One o! the crow heard Herr Mohr's speech
and told the chief officer. Mohr was watched

to march out on the bridge when the Sims
doctor intercepted him and ordered him back
Herr lohr called on his followers to tnck him
up. The doctor called two of the crew. They
clnpped iron bracelets on Herr Mohr and
locked him up In the ships prison. Twenty
