VESSELS DELAYED
DISPUTES IN SYDNEY. TAHITI STILL HELD. UP, (By Electric Telegraph.— Copyright.) Received January 2, 8.5 a.m. SYDNEY, Dec. 31. When the Maheno was duo to sail at ten this morning a number of firemen were absent and did not return until some hours later. The vessel sailed at 4.30 a.m. . The Maunganui, which was timed to sail at 3 p.m., was delayed owing to the absence of certain papers which had to be taken down the harbour to whero the ship was anchored. She finally cleared at 6.30 p.m. The Tahiti was ready to sail at noon when tho crew threw a rope ladder over tho side and left the ship. This was a sudden development of the previous trouble on Christmas Day, when the crew alleged that they were not sufficiently catered for to enable them to celebrate the day fittingly. The Tahiti was taken down the harbour and anchored awaiting a settlement of the disptue.—Press Association.
