INCIDENT ON MOERAKI
SHIP SAILS AFTER SNORT DELAY Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright Australian and N.Z. Press Association. MET,BOURNE, March 12. (Received March 13, at 1 a.in.) The Moeraki has sailed after having been delayed for twenty minutes. The delay was due to the crew refusing to work, as a number of New Zealanders who had helped to break the Pritish seamen’s strike last year hy r aiming the steamer Essex were aboard. The crew only heard that these n en were passengers a few minutes before sailing time, whereupon they declared that they would not proceed to sea if the strike-breakers remained aboard. Eventually the strike-breakers left the vessel, which proceeded to sea.
