THE CAPTAIN WAS SCARED.
A Non Union Crew Was Towed Into
the Stream

Things promised to be lively at Pacific
street wharf last evening in the good old
fashioned sailors Union style because the
ship Glory of the Seas shipped non-union
crew in the afternoon and cleared for
Nanaim0. The men and their baggage
went aboard the vessel TO wait until morn
ing, when 1t was intended to sail.
AS soon as the union he ard Of what had
been done they began to make threats that
frightened the captain, who went with the
shippiDg-master t. the North Harbor sta
tion and asked for protection. This could
not be given them as all the police had been
ordered to look out for the Democratic
parade.
The captain of the station was very angry
al the shipping-master for putting the men
on the vessel, and said he should have in
formed him Of what he intended to do
Shippipg-masters give good deal OF
trouble to the police by doing tbls thing,
and it seems as if nothing will stop them.
All the shlpping-masters are anxious TO get
their men on the vessel as soon as they nave
the papers signed, as they seem to be afraid
some other crew will get In ahead OF them.
il always makes extra and unnecessary
trouble for the police bat so far the police
have managed to put up with It, Last
night however, they could give 20 assist
aHce, so the Glory Of the Seas had TO 90 and
she would be safe from interference. The
captain said he would stay on watch with
a gun and not allow anybody on deck under
penalty of death. The vessel had not been
interfered with up to u O'Clock.
The wreck of the scOw schooner Lizzie
n. A.. which caDszed near the Preside
last Friday, foated out to Onemlle Rock
and was picked up by the tug Fearless,
which brought her 10 port She arrived al

The whaling bark California, Captain
Socum, arrived in port last night with 3l5
barrels of oil and 1000 pounds of bone.
The Bounding Biiow also got In with 700
barrels OF oil and 1000 pounds OF bone.
Neither vessel reported that anything Of
interest or Importance happened on the
voyage.
The British ship John Mcleod. Captain
Henderson, arrived last night, after an I'M
eventful voyage Of ffty-one days. from
Hong Kong she brought a general cargo
consigned to s. l.. Jones.
