Message From Steamer Akropolis. GREEKS CAUSE TROUBLE. (United Service.) LONDON, August 23. "We have had a mutiny among the crew and on our arrival we must discharge the Greek sailors responsible."

"Hie Akropolis is a vessel of 3.584 tons, built in 1907 at Glasgow, and owned by Basil Bruskos, of Greece.
