ORSOYA DELAYED
DISPUTE WITH FIREMEN"
(United Press Association.—Copyright.) SYDNEY, 6th February. Just before the steamer Orsova was due to sail for London a fireman struck at an officer, who retaliated in selfdefence. The firemen demanded an apology, and when this was refused they walked off the ship in a body. Only twenty out of seventy-six returned and'the Orsova therefore was held up.
Later the dispute was settled, on terms not known. The vessel sailed today.
