I The departure of the oil-tanker Ilupemont j from Lyttollon yesterday for Balikpapan was delayed by the action of three members of the j stokehold crew in "jumping tho ship" just an she was leaving the wharf. The men threw their kitbags ashore and then followed them.l They made off to the other end of the waterfront. for it is understood they were desirous of joining another steamer which will leave New Zealand soon for. I/ondon. The tanker in the meantime anchored in the stream, and eventually tho seamen were taken in charge by the police and placed aboard. __
