any time Of having knife thrust into
his ribs, Chief Officer Gustave Uellner,
Of the German refugee steamer hoong
moon quelled a mutiny on his ship
yesterday morning at seven o'clock
and Succeeded in landing seventeen
Chinese members Of tho crow IN the
county jail. This makes sixty-nine
refugee celestials kicking their heels
In the Jail because of riots and mu.
tinies In the German refugee feet.
The honeymoon was brought from
her anchorage ON Friday afternoon
and was doeked ahead Of the German
steamer Gouvcrneur Jaeschke at the
railroad wharf. No trouble was ex.
'perienced at any time with the crew
during the voyage Of the Loonqmoon'
to this port nor was there any feeling
of discomfort while the vessel lay
outside the harbor.
A Regular Walk out
Captain Fritz HelloG, commander
of the Vessel, came ashore at six
o clock yesterday morning TO purchase
stores for the vessel and 10 attend TO
other ships business At seven
O'Clock Chief Officer Ucllner went to
the forecastle head to call tho crew TO
their duties for the day when he was
met by one Of the Chinese, who proved
TO be a ringleadCr in the riot that fol.
lowed shortly after, who stated that
the crew had decided that they would
not work any longer on the vessel and
demanded that they be put ashore.

Ofieor Uellner, "that / did not stop
to argue over the impudent demand

Cinnamon went to tho deck. They oil
closed in on me again, bowling and
fighting like demons / used French
and German methods Of fighting and
kept my hsts and feet going all the
time and. in the meantime kept my
eyes open for any chance of a sudden
knife thrust. As the seventeen men
piled on me again / called for assist.

With these rcinforcements we soon
quelled this small sized riot and the
police took tho belligerents to the
county Jail"

Hardly had. the trouble on the
subsidized when seventeen Of
the crew OF tho Gonvcrneur Jaeschke,
which is berthed about twelve feet
astern of the former vessel, sent a
spokesman to Captain Hausbrand, Of |
the Gouverneur Jaesehke, who stated |
that the crew would prefer to spend |
the rest of their days in jail rather |
than continue their services aboard |
the vessel. Rather than experience |
the trouble that had been gone |

we're hurriedly telephoned for and the |
seventeen dissatisfied members of the
crew were also taken to the county
