FORCEDTO WORK.
Captain Of the Ship Jane BurrelI
COmpells His Men to Make
Voyage.

After having secured tug to take his
ship beyond the eight.mile line, Captain
Robertson of the Jane Burrell ordered
the crew to hoist the sails or he would
fill them full of lead. When last seen
the ship was making slow headway. She
had been detained in the Delaware three
days because of the refusal of this sailors
to work the vessel on the ground that she
was unseaworthy.
The Jane Burrell cleared on Wednes.
day, November 30, for Santos, Brazil,
with 3,00S tons of bituminous coal and
a crew of nineteen men. On Monday
she anchored at Brandywine Shoa, and
was later reported to be leaking.
A survey was made on Tuesday, and
the boat was pronounced seaworthy.
Wednesday night the captain gave orders
to weigh anchor, but not man moved.
One OF them answered: Captain, we
have told YOU that we will not 20 to sea
on this vessel in her present condition.
You can arrest us for mutiny if you
wish"
"un|ess you jump overheard" the
captain said, "you will sail tomorrow.
On Thursday he was reinforced by
eight sailors, recruited in the vicinity OF
Lewes, Del, who signed articles to work
the vessel eight miles out to sea. The
captain had resolved to have the vessel
towed out beyond the seven-miIe limit
and then order the refractory crew to
make sail; should they still refuse he
could place them in irons or shoot them
as mutineers. When the tug Ivanhoe
appeared in the otfing she was signalled
by Captain Robertson to stand BY. The
eight newly-shipped recruits heaved the
line and made fast, the others making no
effort whatever to get the vessel under
way.
To them the captain said: ''You will
work as soon as we leave American
waters, or | may be compelled to fill YOU
full of lead" When outside the seven
mile limit the tow was cast off and the
captain of the Ivanhoe, thoroughly
familiar with the case, waited to see
what would transpire on the decks of the
Britisher. Speaking of what he saw, he
said today:
"As soon as our line was cut loose
Captain Robertson, with great calmness,
measured the distance from shore. 1t
was about eight and three-quarter miles.
lie then gave the order to hoist away the
sails, it being heard by me distinctly.
About half the men started to obey. The
boat was soon under way, and could
not see whether all the crew had gone to
work or not"

ness, in which case the certificate OF O

The guards for tomorrow will report at
the armory at S.45 o'clock.
Each enlisted man will be obliged to
undergo rigid medical examination, in
addition to signing papers to that effect.
These examinations are to prevent any
man from drawing pension who 6as
received no injuries or have in any way
affected their health while in the service
OF the United States.
The signing OF the muster out rolls
and examination will take about ten
days, at the expiration OF which time
the men will be paid in full, which in
cIudes their monthly pay, clothing al.
lowence and ration money.
Every effort will be made by the Off
GERS to secure the signatures of those
who desire to remain in the service and
who have not already signed the peti-
ton. About 200 men arrived in this
city last evening from down the State.
1t is the general opinion that most of
these desire to be mustered out. 1t
looks very much as though this State
will not be represented unless a new
battalion IS formed.
