WHITE ROSE ARRIVES.
Two Sailors Arrested for MiScon.
duct Aboard the Vessel.

Two Sailors Arrested for Miscon-
duct Aboard the Vessel.
The Norwegian bark White Rose,
Aaroe master, arrived in port yester-
day morning, 50 days from Newcastle,
n. S. W., with a full load of COAL
Shortly after her arrival in port two
of the sailors, a Norwegian and an
Englishman, were arrested and brought
ashore to the police station.
1t seems that the Englishman re-
fused duty just after arrival, but the
unruly actions of the Norwegian dat
ed back for a much longer period.
When about three weeks out this in
dividual took it into his head to be
very insolent to the Captain, and was
ordered forward. The Captain says
he went there and remained a month
or until arrival in port. He did not
say anything further on that point, but
his remark was, to say the least, sug-
gestiVe.
While he was reclining on his lounge
on the evening of the trouble, the
sailmaker and two men came to him
and told of the mutinous language that
the Norwegian sailor had been spread
ing in the forecastle. Of course, the
Captain did his duty.
Upon arrival in port the English
sailor refused duty, and the conse-
quence was the arrest of the sailors.
What will be done in the matter has
not yet been decided but it is very
probable that the Englishman will be
shipped on a vessel bound for San
Francisco, and the Norwegian will
have to go aboard the White Rose
again with a deduction of one months
salary in his wages.

Toe Vikings Crew.

The failure of the owners of the
schooner Viking to provide five seamen
with sufficient rations will prove quite
costly. United States District Judge
". w. Morrow yesterday awarded
Joseph Peterson and four other sea-
men $292.5O each damages, says the
S F. Examiner of Nov. Is.
Peterson and the other sailors ship
ped in the Viking for a cruise to the
Tanning islands. When Kusaie was
reached the Captain ordered the sup
ply of bread greatly diminished, and
substituted a mixture of flour and
copra The men protested, and as a
penalty had sugar cut off the bill of
fare. They had to down their coffee
without sweetening, and to eat their
salt meat without the ordinary allot-
ment Of vinegar or lime juice. Other
hardships were imposed upon them and
when they returned to this city they
sued J. F. Cunningham & Co., the own
ers of the vessel, for damages as pro-
Vided for by the United States statutes.
Judge Morrow in deciding the case
said that from the testimony of the
cook one would be led to suppose that
the crew actually suffered from starva-
ton.
Il find" said the Judge, that the
allotment of bread was reduced one
third. and the allotment of sugar re-
duced in the same proportion. AS no
lime Juice or vinegar was served in
conjunction with the aforementioned
violations of law the sum of S292.50
will be awarded each complainant"
