THE Z. b. SUTTON.
Captain Carver of the ship Z. B. SUIT
ton has said goodbye to Honolulu, and
says further that he does not expect
ever to come here again. Carver is
thoroughly Disguised with the work of
the shipping masters in this port, ana,
although he has had considerable ex-
perience with crimps. he has pever run
up against such a gang of these men
as he found in Honolulu.
Yesterday the E. B. Sutton got away
on her long voyage around the Horn
to New York. The Fearless towed her
to sea, but not until the big ship had
been delayed about an hour by sticking
in the mud at the upper end or the
harbor She was full of sugar and deep
down in the water. 1t was low tide
also, and the Sutton stuck and staid
there until the Fearless succeeded in
pulling her off and taking her to sea.
Captain Carver's determination was
to secure a crew for the Sutton In Ho-
nolulu without Lewis and Turk. He is
a man of resource and energy, and
worked hard to carry out his plan.
Some exciting times were experienced
by the captain. and the captain was
not the only man who found excitement
in the affair.
Big Crimp Mccarthy tried first to Sc
cure a crew for the Sutton. Mccarthy s
work was too slow, however, and Cap
tain Carver went to the Sailors Home
for men. Captain Bray said he was
ready to supply any number of men
required. SO Captain Carver departed,
satisfied. When the men turned up
Carver found that three of them were
wanted in court in an action against
Lewis and Turk, and the other, suppos-
ed to be a carpenter, didn't know a
chisel from a screwdriver. Carver sent
them back to the Home in hurry, and
when he afterwards met Bray the fun
began.
1t Is said that Bray gently intimated
that Carver was ". c., and later init
mated that he would enjoy a siege of
house cleaning, using Carver as the ar
ticle with which to wipe up the floor
Carver hove alongside Bray; hoisted
the black flag and invited Bray to open
the ball. This was in Commissioner
Boyd's office, and Mr.. Boyd undertook
to preserve peace at this critical juno
ture. Carver was some potatoes in the
ring before he went to sea and took to
eating salt horse and dunderfunk He
invited Bray around the corner to have

Mccarthy was appealed to once more
to secure crew for the Sutton. Nc

sailors, but Lewis and Turk We're at

she wanted. Twelve hours later they
We're all ashore again. On Tuesday
night, however. Carver had a complete
crew again, having recovered the runa-
ways.
1t is said that Turk and Lewis are
the only reliable crimps on the water
