Mate Este of the Iroquois Jumps
His Ship as She Is
Docking.
A BIG GUN HORSE PASSENGER
More Changes on the Cutter Bear.
A Valuable Coal Ship Arrived
in Port.

The ship Iroquois, which arrived from
Philadelphia Thursday, docked at How
ard-street wharf yesterday morning. Her
first mate, E. c. Este, who eased off the
tedium of five months voyage by pro-
miscuously abusing the crew, docked him
self also, but the place is unknown. While
the vessel was being towed to the wharf he
put on his best clothes, and when she got
within few feet of the pier-head Mr.. Este
jumped. Some of the crew jumped, too,
but the mate could beat the sailors with
his long legs, and so E. c. Este disap-
peared uptown until he gets another ship
and another crew to kick and club.
After reading in the morning papers the
accounts of his brutality told by the men
to the reporters, and also their threats of
paying off old scores when safe on shore,
he decided to land ahead of them ana get
out of harms way. So he jumped his
ship and his job, and the Iroquois wants
new first mate.
The men also left the vessel in body as
second mate, deaf-and-dumb passenger
and the boy to make the ship fast. From his
own statements, made during the voyage,
Este is a hard customer, and is forced to
leave every ship he sails in Immediately
after arriving in port.
Another story comes from the revenue
cutter Bear, and this time it is that Lieu

to this port and join the cutter.
1t is also rumored that Lieutenant
Rodgers of the Hartley will be detailed to
relieve Tuttle as commanding officer of the
little steamer.
The Society for the Prevention of Cru

otficered by competent naval men, where
the youngsters will be taught seamanship
and will be fitted for the naval service Of
