too sick, and refused to go. They had
previously declined to go when ordered
by Second Engineer Cummings. The
captain ordered them to be confined in
the laZarette.
Two hours later. Michael Stack,
another fireman who was ordered to go
into the stoke-hole, refused also on the
plea of sickness. He was sent under
guard to the store-room, where he was
locked up.
Acting British Consul-GeneraI Gilbert

the men had not acted like mutineers
and that he could not take action against
them.
