the vessel and those who had the AMI
NAL in charge proceeded to make him
fast to one of the bits.
One man got hold of the starboaro
line and another stood by to take
, Epull on the port brace in case the beast
became unmanageable. The bullock
was feeling frisky after his experience
lon the Mariposa and had not quite re-
lowered from the rolling about he had
lpassed through during the heavy south
|, westerly gale between Sydney and
Auckland. He was evidently glad to be
lon solid land again and proceeded to
lcreate disturbance by attempting to
do a foot race up and down the wharf.
i The whole trouble originated by there
being two lines made fast to the poor
beasts horns. The men who had
charge of the lines did not understand
each other as well as they might have
done and the result was that they pull
ed in opposite directions. which aroused
1.-THE anger Of the brute.
There were many ladies on the wharf
at the time and, when finally the bull
| lock lost all patience with his clumsy
masters and started to bolt right for
the crowd, the most natural thing fol-
lowed and there was a panic.
Men did their best to get the ladies
out of the way and the ladies them
selves became very lively. There was
some exciting sprinting and jumping
over obstacles.
| A few feminine screams, few NUT
tered masculine curses and a merry
chase after the beast by it's keepers,
ended by the bullock being secured and
peace reigning again.
Crowds Kept Waiting.
Crowds of people waited outside of
the gate leading onto the quarantine
wharf last evening and passed the time
away by asking questions of the Gus
toms officer and others in authority on
the wharf.
The Mariposa was lying alongside the
wharf. She had just arrived from the
Colonies and there were many people
in the crowd who We're anxious to meet
friends who were coming home from
the south or who were passing through
to the Coast from Australia.
These people were informed by the
customs officer that they could not go
on the wharf until the immigration
commissioner had finished with the
passengers
The crowds did not like to be kept
waiting and said SO in many different
ways.
They appealed to the quarantine Off
Gals and We're informed that the quar-
antine people bad nothing whatever to
do with OBTAINING them outside the
gate of the wharf The customs Off
Ger declared that he was following out
instructions received from the office and
he was making no explanations for the
benefit of questioners.
Tt was considerably more than an
hour after the steamship locked that
any one was permitted to go on the
wharf, except between sixty and hun
dred stevedores who did nothing but
hang around, waiting to commence
coaling the Mariposa.
After the passengers had been allow
ed to land those who wanted to go on
the wharf We're permitted to do So
The public is not used to vessels from
foreign countries docking at the quar-
antine wharf and the crowds were
therefore new to the methods adopted
last night.
The quarantine wharf is constructed
to exactly suit the handling of crowds
on the outside and passengers or fmmi-
grants on the inside. The wharf is ap-
preached from the shore by a narrow
platform which is connected with the
wharf by a drawbridge; in fact three
OF these approaches exist, although
only one is used generally. Large slid
ing doors guard the entrances.
