TROUBLE WITH CREW
lONIC AND MAHIA AFFAIR
SENTENCES IMPOSED
(Received July 26, 2 p.m.) LONDON, July 25. In a sequel to events in Wellington William Evans, fireman aboard the lonic, was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment at the East Ham Police Court, and twenty-four others of the crow to three weeks' hard labour, following a conviction for combining to disobey the lawful commands of the master. : The prosecution said that tho lonic was lying alongside the Mahia, whose boatswain had quarrelled with the crew, after which one had committed suicide. An inquiry held the boatswain blameless, but he resigned. The lonic's captain offered him a passage, whereupon Evans told the officers that the defendants would leave if the boatswain was a passenger. This resulted in the lonic sailing only after the Mahia's boatswain had left.
