FIREMEN'S ATTITUDE.
THE CASE OF S.S. GERTIE. Once more firemen hare been responsible for holding up a steamer at Wellington. This timo the vessel affected was Messrs. Levin and Co.'s Gertie. The vessel whs scheduled to sail for Foxton shortly after midnight last night, and everything was ready when two of her firemen refused to work her. It appears that (ho Gertie carries three firemen as .a'rule, and one of their number met with' an accident in town during the evening. The ship's officers endeavoured in vain to get a man to take his place. The steamer could have gone to sea with the two remaining firemen, but when asked to go the.-latter refused. The Gertie's departure for Foxton had therefore to be postponed.' ' " .;,-■■■
