COMPANY PAYS THE FINE
A RIOTOUS FIREMAN. TO ENSURE VESSEL'S DISPATCH. (Per Press Association —Copyright.) SYDNEY, May 1. The Moeraki sailed for Wellington! at 1.15 p.m., six hours late. When the ship was due to sail at 10 a.m. it was discovered that the crew was nine men short. These were afterwards found, and agreed to rejoin the ship, but then the entire stokehold crew refused to take the vessel to sea unless one of their number, who had been imprisoned overnight for riotous behaviour, was brought out of gaol. The company paid the man's fine, and he rejoined the ship, which then sailed.
