News and Courier, Thursday: Depu-
ty Collector Of Customs Withers, the
acting shipping commissioner for this
port, has been called upon to straight
en- out some differences between Cap
tain Scott, Of the British steamship
| Drumgarth, and several Of the mari
ner's forecastle hands. It seems that
the sailors involved in the dispute
shipped at Newport News with an un-
derstanding, they say, to get their dis
charge papers the first port at which
Captain Scott loaded his ship again.
The English skipper was not disposed
to let the seamen leave him here. The
Americans appeared before the United
States custom house authorities and
stated their side Of the case. Later
Captain Scott gave his version to Dep
uty Withers. The deputy sent around
to the British consul's office and pro-
cured the article the sailors had signed
at Newport News. After looking over
the documents and consulting one Or
two Of his legal volumes touching ma
rine matters Deputy Collector Withers
informed Cantain Scott that the sail
ors were entitled to their discharge pa
pers and what money was due Them for
services rendered on the Drumgarth.
