When the Union Company’s steamer Waitemata, from Los Angeles, was ready to sail from Napier for New Plymouth at six o’clock last evening, one of the firemen complained of feeling unwell and asked to see a doctor. A doctor examined the man and could find nothing wrong with him and certified he was fit for duty. The fireman was not satisfied and intimated his desire to see another doctor and left for that purpose. He was unable to produce a certificate of unfitness, and refused to sail with the ship. Other members of the crew would not sail with a man short, and the vessel remained in port for the night.
