as quite a feet of sailing vessels ar |
rived and the departures during the |
day were numerous. The Niihau, |
with a cargo ~ sugar from Kauai, |
came in and the Tillie E. Starbuck, |
from San Francisco, after a smart run
of fourteen days, arrived and anchored
off the harbor. The Inverness-shire,
now that her troubles are over for the
time being, is expected TO come in and
take on more ballast. The decision of
the marine court which sat in her
case has given satisfaction to all the
shippers here, who have crews shipped
at British ports. The transport War
rem, after a day and a half waiting to
straighten out health matters, got
away for San Francisco shortly after
noon. The extra charge for pilotage
ordered by the Collector of Customs to
be paid by ships taking pilot is still
live topic of discussion, and several
shipmasters are on record as saying
that they will refuse to pay it. They
seem to think that the Collector has no
authority for making the order.
The Men Fined.
The marine court which tried the
crew of the Inverness-shire has rem
dered it's verdict, finding the men gull
ty, as charged The twelve men have
been fined and discharged from the
ship and Captain Peattie exonerated by
1.-The court on all charges brought
against him by the men. The
fines imposed will leave the men little
money coming to them; but as in the
opinion of the judges their refusing du-
ty was the cause of the ships delay
in the harbor and virtually the cause
of her drifting to sea, it is thought just
that they be made to pay partly for
the expense incurred. Their fines will
amount to less than $1,000, and this
am cunt will just about pay for the
labor taken out to her when in dis
tress. The insurance company will
have to make good the loss of the an
Choir ard chain, but the loss of time,
which is a very considerable item, must
be borne by the ship.
AS result of the trouble Captain
Peattie was made defendant in a dam
age case by the sailmaker, William
Thompson, who claims to have beer
assaulted and unlawfully confined by
the Captain. Damages in the sum Of
81 900 are asked The case will be
heard or the 18th inst.
