"Sandworm john got into trouble.
He needed dollar to get him out and
he didn't have the cash. He appeal

wife and do my duty, and all that +

LAUNCH PURSUED SHIP.

Paying by the jib,' an old-ti1ne ex-
preston which held wei here in the
whaling days, is also an adage which
apparently applied TO the French ship
Ernest Reyer yesterday. when that
vessel put 10 sea without first paying
a wharfage claim OF the Oahu Rail-
way Co. AS the vessel was about to
leave in tow Of the tug Fearless a
man went aboard and made claim for
the amount, which is said 10 be in
the neigh borhood of 5000 AS the
claimant had no papers 10 press the
claim, the Captain waved him aside.
The man went ashore and saw attor-
ney J. J. Dunno As the vessel was
going out the channel launch pur-
sued the FrencaEnan, and Deputy U.
S. Marshal Winter went aboard and
served papers The vessel continued
out until the anchorage was reached
where the Friedman dropped his
mudhook. The captain explains that
his understanding was that the wharf
age was a matter Of settlement with
the vessel which supplied him with
ballast.
w. T. Dillingham; of the Oahu Rail-
way Co. makes the following state
ment:
The ship Reyer cleared from the
Custom House on Tuesday evening, al
though il was understood the vessel
had another day for taking on ballast
The captain made arrangements to pull
out of the harbor early this morning,
epr
payment OF wharfage.
When demand was made on the
captain for the wharfage he refused
TO make payment. saying he had ar
ranged with Captain Graham OF the
ship Erskine II. Phelps to pay the bill.
This was denied by Captain Graham,
who refused TO settle the bill. De-
mand was again made on the French
captain for payment Of the wharfage
and he again fatty refused TO make
settlement
Papers were then prepared against
the shin by Attorney Dunno and the
ship vas Iibeled. The vessel had got
ten under way but was brought to
anchor near the bell-boy. and the cap
tain returned 10 town. This after
noon the Captain settled the account
in full with costs"
It is said that the Deputy Marshal,
and others who pursued the ship in
the launch, had an interesting time
when they went aboard. The captain
angrily threw the papers on the deck,
cursed in French and refused to take
cognizance Of Deputy Marshal Win
ter's gold badge At one time that
official and his friends feared that they
would be shanghaied and taken to sgd
ney.
The Reyer sailed from the anchor
age for Sydney at 5 D N.
