Another | seaman, Daniel Burke, aged 45, faced a similar charge. The representative of the shipping company said that since the ship had been in port the owners had had a »i'eat,'deal of trouble. "They are a Liverpool crew," he said, "and noted for heinw as rough and tough as they make them, On the night the ship sailed the chief officei- was assaulted, and the men con- j. cerned in this are to be tried in Napier.
