MUTINY ON TANKER
CHINESE ATTACK BRITISH A TIMELY RESCUE [BY CABLE—PRESS ASSN—COPYRIGHT.] (Recd. August 29, 8 a.m.) ROME, August 28. A mutiny of the Chinese crew numbering 26, on the British tanker Haliotis, at Naples, was only controlled when the Fascist militia, with drawn revolvers, boarded the vessel, and locked mutineers in two cabins. The trouble arose when the captain rebuked the helmsman for negligence, as the ship was about to sail. The helmsman closed with the master, biting him severely on the hands, before being driven off by the other British officers.
The helmsman called the other Chinese. They rushed the bridge, armed with knives and other weapons. The officers defended themselves till the militia arrived. One Chinese was taken to the hospital.
