CREW CRAZY FOR TOBACCO
Lack Of Weed Almost Causes Mutiny
on Board Schooner Clancy
Brown.

Galveston. Texas.-The schooner
Clancy Brown, with a cargo of coal
thirty-three days out from Baltimore,
had an unusual experience when its
crew Of - men became mutinous be-
cause of a tobacco famine. Captain
Swenten says his sailors went insane
when the supply of tobacco gave out
on the twenty-first day.
The schooner was blown out OF its
course and the absence Of chewing
and smoking tobacco made the men
nervous wrecks. They refused to
obey orders, quarreled and several
times threatened to take the vessel
and land somewhere in quest of the
coveted weed.
Their behavior delayed the ship
three or four days longer on IS voy'
age, the captain says
When the pilot boat met the 3choon'
er on the Texas coast the crew hug
ged the pilots when they dumped their
tobacco boxes and plugs on deck.
