MUTINT

Norfolk. Va, Sept. 2S,--"This is a
hell of a ship was the great sign
read on the side of the cruiser North
Carolina the last night it lay at an
chor In Hampton Roads. The letters
extended two-thirds of the way along
the hull of the cruiser and had been
painted in luminous paint used in
making targets visible at night.
1t was a small sized munity, due TO
the fact that for acts of insubordina-
ton and violation of rules off the
capes in target practice, shore leave
had been denied the 500 men aboard.
II was hard to trace the cause OF the
trouble and the officers decided to
punish all alike. 1t is known that a
number OF sailors are confined in the
brig as a result OF the trouble on the
practice ground at sea
The luminous sign attracted great
attention and a thorough investiga-
ton was ordered by the officers. but
as yet the persons responsible have
not been found. II is reported that
sailors and petty officers had several
fist fights endeavoring to enforce the
order not to allow any OF the tars
to go ashore. For three days this or
der was carried out. the men watch
ing their comrades from other ships
leaving to visit Norfolk. and the in
