FIGHT FOR A SHIP.
DIVIDED RUSSIAN CREW. MUTINY IN JAPANESE HARBOUR. (Received 11.30 p.m.) Renter. TOKJO, Oct. 27. The deck of the Russian Volunteer Fleet steamer Symbirsk, which is lying in Nagasaki Harbour, was the scene of a Bolshevik uprising yesterday, when fifty members of the crew attempted to seize the vessel and return to Vladivostok. The Symbirsk escaped seizure at Vladivostok when the other Volunteer Fleet vessels were taken over, since when she has not visited Siberian ports. The captain and loyal section of the crew refused to surrender the ship upon the demand of a Vladivostok emissary who summoned the Bolshevik section to seize the Vessel. The captain was badly beaten before police assistance arrived. The leaders of the mutiny were arrested.
