INSTRUMENTATION on Steamer.
| YOKOHAMA, Jan. 2O.-When few
days out from Honolulu, on New
Years Day, the firemen on board the
America Maru, in order to celebrate
the day, tossed several European en-
gineers in a blanket. Everything was
done In a good-natured way, reports
the Japan Herald, till they came TO Mr..
Seavers, the chief engineer. Evidently
by preconcerted action they failed to
catch him. Mr.. Seavers fell on deck
but luckily, by using his hands to ad-
vantage, did not hurt himself. The
second engineer tried to interfere, but
had to desist, as the coolies were going
for him. Later on the firemen came
on deck armed with bottles, iron bars.
etc. and threatened the second engi-
neer, who, only through the good adj
vice of Captain Going, was prevented
from striking the men. Later on
again one of the coolies tried to at
tack the first engineer, but he was put
in irons, AZ in the Tamba Maru oc-
currence, this excited the rest of the
gang, who made a disturbance, till fl
nally the captain liberated the man or
nv ten hot ha hat Il
The matter has been reported to the
head office of the Togo Kisen Kaisha
IN Tokyo.
Further details as to the disturbance
on the America Maru are reported in
the Japan Herald. 1t would appear
that on New Years Day four of the
Japanese firemen entered Mr.. Sewers
room, locking the door behind them
and then Informed that gentleman
that they proposed to kill him. One
of the Japanese engineers managed to
get the four flremen away, though not
before they had smashed the windows
and wrought some other damage. The
second engineer was likewise threat
ened, but the captain and purser inter-
fered and got him out of the way. The
ringleader was put in irons, but this
raised such disturbance that the
captain had to order his release. The
Togo kisen Kaisha, it is understood
has dismissed, or at least removed, the
four original rlngleaders.
