MELBOURNE.
October 30.
An exciting scene occurred in Hobson's Bay on board the Norwegian barqne Thor, 1106 tons, about to sail for Maiden Island. Five deserters had been brought on board as the vessel was on tbe point of leaving, ffhen tbey al l . lumped overboard, and one narrowly escaped being drowned hefore he was secured. The water police ultimately captured the others, and took them on board again, whereupon the whole of the rest of the crew refused to work. The vessel is therefore still detained.
