The Kaimai was* down to sail at 8 p.m. on Thursday, but just before that hour, some members of the crew refused to sail until a complaint was dealt with by the Seamen’s Union.

The Kaimai got away at 2 p.m. As a result of the delay, one day has been lost. The time lost by the Kaimai so far this year as the result of hold-ups over crew trouble totals' several weeks.
