The statement was made yesterday
by one OF the officers Of the Chinook
that there was a full complement Of
men aboard, and that no additional
men would be needed. Some of the
local Iongshorsmen yesterday stated to
an Historian reporter that they were
very much dissatisfied with the treat
nent accorded them by Mr.. Dunbar,
the officer at present in charge OF the
Chinook. Mr.. Dunbar was the first
officer of the drcdge when Captain Ly-
man left for San Francisco to join the
transport Thomas. Some Of the men
yesterday stated that Mr.. Dunbar had
been very unkind to them, but inquiry
elsewhere elected a fiat contradiction
OF this story. The men seen yester-
day by an Astorian man we're long
shoremen and said they had left the
vessel because Of the attitude Of the
commanding officer toward them. They
also expressed the belief that the Chi
nook was unsea worthy, as the dredge
has a big list when filled with sand,
and that they were fearful an accident
might result In their death.
