palm for being one of the meekest
shippers that ever sailed the seas, &C
cepting as true his own story told on,
the stand to United States Commits
sioner Francis Krull, at Portland,
Ore, and. corrohorated by his accuser,
Chief Mate A. b. Nelson. The captain
was charged by the mate with having
assaulted him with a loaded revolver
on May 18th of this year while in the
harbor of Hama, II. r., says, the Port
land Telegram. The mate was rel
buked by the captain for his slowness
IN getting the ship ready to receive a
cargo of sugar the next morning. Hot:
words passed between them. Finally
Mate Nelson dared Captain Nelson to
come down from the pilot-house, and
the captain accepted the challenge.
Shouting to the crew to look over the
side of the ship so that they might not
see what was happening, the mate
knocked the captain unconscious on
the deck.
After being. taken below and reviv-
ed the captain called the crew aft for
a conference, excluding his assailant,
and as the mate tried to crowd past
him on the gangway the captain drew
revolver and demanded that he re-
main on deck The order was dis
s obeyed and the crew signed paper
$ stating that the captain had treated
them well during the voyage. On the
next day Mate Nelson, who had slept
ashore without permission, boarded
the vessel and demanded that the cap-l
tain should apologize for being knock
ed down This the captain refused TO
do, but accepted custody of the cart
ridges OF the, mates revolver and
threw his own revolver overheard as
an evidence of good faith.
Commissioners Krull said that il APP
peared to him that the prosecution
s was actuated by spite. and dismissed
the charge.
