The Hyderabad's Apprentices

The Hyderabad's Apprentices
When the British ship Hyderabad was in
port Captain Scott had some trouble with
three Of his apprentice boys. They left
the ship and the captain reported them as
deserters and refused to pay bills which
they contracted in the city. The Hyder-
abad is now on her way TO Antwerp, but
the boys managed TO get a letter ashore
denying Captain SCott's statements. They
admit that they deserted the ship, but
did so because the captain would not give
them proper clothing in which to make
the voyage around the Horn. The bills
they contracted were all with the cap
tain's sanction, and the ship was liable for
them. The boys were R. T. Hainstock,
NJ. Watkins and A j. Lewis. When the
Hyderabad reaches England there will be
an investigation and the apprentices will
tell their side of the story. The friends
of the boys in San Francisco say they
were not to blame, and the whole trouble
arose over Captain Scott's refusal to sup
ply them with oilskns for the voyage
around the Horn.
