CAPTAIN SUBDUEs MUTI.1ERo
Hooch-crazed Crew of Steamer Ches-
ter kiwanis Finds His Fist
Worse Than Hurricane.

Latest reports from the mutiny on
the shipping board tramp steamer
Chester Kiwanis while she was an
chored off Staten island early the other
morning, indicate that 1t was not for
assistance Capt Job Cunningham
called the harbor squad of the polio"
department. The captain and his ri-ic'
engineer, although they were only two
against thirty-four drunken and
quarrelsome seamen. finished the job
Of quelling the mutiny in such work
manlike manner that they thought 1t
shame there were no witnesses to
the results of their efficiency, the New
York World states.
The mixup started when some Of the
white sailors, having smuggled aboard
a quantity Of bootleg hooch, renewed
quarrel with the eight negro members
Of the crew, who appealed to the
captain for protection. There had
been friction all the way over from
Boulogne, from which port the Chester
Kiwanis cleared and Capt. Cunning
ham was pretty we'll fed up with argu-
ment.
Therefore he went to the fo'clsle,
where he found the crew had bar
ricaded itself in. With one blow OF
his huge fist the captain shattered
panel of the door, driving his fore
arm clear through. At this point
sailor made a tactical error of biting
the captains wrist. After that the
captain laid out every sailor within
reach, and he managed to reach about
all Of them. Chief Engineer Michael
son joined the fray and although he
got q couple Of black eyes, he gave
better than he received, and 1t was
not long before all was quiet along the
Staten island shore.
That was the time that the captain
and the chief decided it was too bao
no one could see their handiwork.
Therefore, when one Of the crew below
started to yell they summoned the
police boat, explaining that they
feared a second outbreak"
Current opinion among the crew is
that those two officers are not In fear
Of anything.
