INDIANS IN IRONS.
They Were Mutinous on Board of
Sealer.


VICTORIA, B. c., July 1S.-The sealing
schooner c. d. Rand returned to port to-
day from a sealing cruise, which was cut
short owing TO mutiny of the Indian
hunters, news of which was brought down
by the City of Topeka last week.
The first signs of mutiny appeared off
Sitka on June Is when the wages were
paid. The Indians then lowered their
canoes and prepared to desert the ship.
Owing to the new regulations, Indians are
the only hunters available for Bering
Sea, as white men cannot use spears. so
the Indians demanded So per canoe extra.
This the captain agreed to and the Indians
re turned TO the schoOners.
The Rand cruised around for some days,
hoping to find man of war TO seal up the
arms. but during the interval the Indians
again mutnied and took possession of the
vessel. The mutineers numbered twenty
one, while the captain had only five whites
and two faithful Indians to help
him. He believed the Indians intend
ed To scuttle the vessel and secure the
357 skins, which they thought were still in
the hold, but which had been left at Sitka.
The Indians threatened to cut the throatS
of the faithful seven, and several times
the vessel nearly capsized owing TO their
bad management. Fortunately the cap
tain had hid away the firearms, and nothing
serious occurred, though several fights took
place. At last the captain and his seven
got the drop on the mutineers and drove
them into the hold, where they shut them
up He then sailed for Sitka. where he
obtained handouts from the Government
officials and brought the Indians down In
irons. They will be tried tomorrow.

The suns glorious rays were let in again
and the jurors were afflicted with prac-

was also objected TO by Grove johnson,
but was allowed by judge Coffey. The
arrangement was adjusted, and Expert
