VIRGIN ISLANDS UNITS OF BRIT
ISH SHIPS CREW TELL SAD TALE.

There seems to have been some
trouble with a part of the Virgin Is
lands units of the Henry Holmes crew
while at Martinique.
Three sailors told u reporter among
other things that they were wilfully
left ashore in Fort de. France. They al
legged that the bOatswain informed them
that the ship wont sail before Sunday
morning Oct. 3, and that such was the
Captains order. However, the ship
sailed Saturday afternoon.
The men were left behind, eight in
number. A little while after the Brit
ish Consul at Martinique received a
cable from the Captain of the cable
ship to the ~Tect that eight men had
deserted him.
