two stories u assault and mutny the part OF his
TO unfold.

ing more than was good for him. took II into his
head to run the ship. The captain naturally OBJ
down and otherwise abusing him. The captain says
he saved the lives Of the party board 1T the
pcnse Of getting 'donc up" Commissioner Shields
told the captain that ne would have To go the
United States Commissioner in Brooklyn with HIS
complaint.
The other story which the captain had To tell re-
lated &. a member Of a different crew. whom he had
hired months ago. HIS name s Scott Abrams.
and when ne met the captain day In Delaney
St. and didn't get his pay promptly as he ex-
pectcd. hc proceeded TO hammer Mr.. Idcll on the
head with brick. When the captain recovered his
composurc and his senses he tied up his head AMI
went TO Essex Market Police Court. where he got
a warrant for the arrest OF the obstreperous sailor
man. Although that month ago, ne
says. Abrams has not yet been arrested, and Is
still walking around the streets In plain view Of the

Il should think" said Commissioner Shields. that
you have good grounds to complain against the
police for neglectlng to arrest the man Why don't

The captain thought this good idea. and, after
