GOOD OLD DAYS.
WHEN STEWARDS ATE CHICKEN. THE CAPTAIN'S EGO. AND THE CABIN BOY'S SOUP. (By Telegraph.—Special to "Stat,") WELLINGTON, this day. What do cooks and etewards get to eat? What's left?" queried Mr. Kennedy, when discussing meals before the Conciliation Council in the Marine Cooks and Stewards' Coastal Union dispute. "They look after themselves, never fear," rejoined Mr. Hammond, for the employers. "Many a girl in an hotel orders chicken and put it on one side foF her own dinner." "When you see- chicken in a small chip tell us, and we will photograph it and have it framed," returned Mr. Kennedy. Captain Petersons I have seen one. Mr. Kennedy (decidedly): I have not. "But you are a young man," explained Captain Peterson. .. • "Oh, I see! It must have been a long time ago," replied Mr. Kennedy. ."I once heard of an egg laid .on a ship being put into a 'rice pudding," Captain Rogers here interjected. "I also remember a ship's boy who was fed on egg ■ soup eyery day—the. captain ,had an egg boiled every morning, and the boy got the soup." (Laughter).
