A STRANGE SHPPING DISPUTE.
A CAPTAIN DECLARED TO BE A STOWAWAY. THE PILOT SUMMONED. Sydney, this day. The custom has been in vogue of employing a pilot from Sydney or Melbourne to take steamers to Newcastle and thus avoid pilotage dues. When the Customs Officer boarded the steamer Waikato he found a pilot in charge. Captain Banks disclaimed being in command, and, as there was no passenger list, he was on his own statement set down as a stowaway. Tho pilot has been summoned to appear before the Marine Board to explain bis position on board.
