at the custom house yesterday was pre-
sided over by United States General APP

A DEFIANT COOK.
Refused to Leave the GamecOck When
Discharged.

Defied the Captain at Bangor-Then De-
fed Shipping Commissioner Gallagher
Here-But He Came Ashore With
Deputy Marshals Smith and Prescott.
Sunday night the two masted coasting
schooner, Gamecock, dropped anchor in
Portland harbor, on her way from Bangor
to Boston. 1t was not bad weather that
caused her to seek this port, but the desire
ON he part of the captain to rid himself of
an obn oxious member of the crew, viz. the
cook. one Larity Larsen by name, a stout
and pugnacious young Sweds, about thirty
years of age.
The captain shipped Linn in Rockland over
q week ago to sail as cook and sailor both.
when they got outside there was trouble.
There were only two other sailors and tho
cook refused 10 do anything but cook.
The captain therefore sailed up the river
to Bangor. expecting the authorities there
could rid him Of the troublesome cook. for
Larsen had refused to be discharged and
declared that he would not leave the vessel.
and he did not leave the vessel in Bangor.
for of course the captain found no United
States officers there. and he could not leg Al.
ly use force. Probably he wouldn't have
stopped to consider the legality of the use
of force if he hadn't been old and the cook
young and determined to fight to the last
rather than leave the vessel.
So the Gamecoek was obliged to sail for
Portland with the defiant cook Oh board.
Arrived here last Sunday night, the captain
the next day applied to shippipa Commits
sioner Gallagher, who sent man off to the
schooner to bring away the cooE, But
Larsen defied the man. and the shipping
commissioner, and still held the fort on the
sch ooner. There WAS nothing else TO do but
TO cause his arrest by tpe United States
officers. and yesterday Comuiaioner Bradley
made out the warrant ana Deputy Marshals
smith and Prescott went ont TO the sehoon-
er with it. Larsen was quite different
man. when the pruper officers recuested
him to leave the vessel and ha came with
them quietly enough. He claimed tfat the
captain refused to pay bin all the wages
that were due him, and the latter claimed
that lie did not consider Larsen in his en-
ploy from Bangor to Portland because he
had discharged him at Bangor.
Larsen was told shat he could either take
thes$l2 due him and lea ve.ihe vessel or go TO
jail. lie concluded to take the sig.

PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE OF OPER-
ATIVES IN THE MILL.

The Accident Occurred i'll the Lawrence
Manufacturing Company's Mills at
LowelI-A Section of the Mill Wall
Disappeared Without Warning-A
Panic Among the Operatives.
Lowell. Mass, April 23.-An accident that
might easily have resulted in a dreadful
fatality occurred at the Lawrence Manu-
featuring company's mills about 4.30 this
afternoon. A section OF the rear wall of No
mill which extends along the Merrimac
completely collapsed and disappeared into
tho river. The section WAS about 10 feet
wide comprising four rows of windows and
spaces between them. The wall was evident
ly undermined by the recent extraordinary
freshet and the foundation which is of
heavy stone up to the first story simply
slipped into tho river taking with it the
supeIincumbsn brick wall. A dreadful
oommotiou was caused among the operatives
but all escaped injury except one womaL
who was scalded by broken steam pipe.
The greatest danger was on the second
floor which sagged so much at point of
the breeoh that q portion of it almost
rested on the floor below. A woman tend
ing looms at that point was almost thrown
into the river the incline was SO steep, and
only by hanging to the looms that she could
get to the solid floor. Two foors above
sagged the same. The danger seemed equal
lysgreat on all thesfoors. and thesoperatives
did not feel safe until they were out of the
building. Some were SO frightened that
they were almost helpless for some hours
after. The mill was five stories high, the
lower floors being used weave room and
the upper for spinning dressing and warp
ing rooms. Probably more of the wall may
collansa De fore, morning.
