DISSATISFIED FIREMEN
TROUBLE IN TAVIUNI’S STOKEHOLD. Press Association. DUNEDIN, February 10. The Taviuni, which was to have sailed last night for Westport, was held up owing to not having the full complement of firemen. When the vessel arrived from the Bluff ;on Sunday the firemen gave the requisite twentyfour (hours’ notice, maintaining, as they did at Wellington about a fortnight ago, that an extra stokehold hand was needed.' They wanted to work the ship with six firemen and no trimmers, instead of three firemen and two trimmers. The Union Company remained adamant, and after considerable difficulty got a crew together, and the vessel sailed this afternoon. Owing to the delay in departure, she will proceed to Westport direct. Cutting out Oamaru arid Timaru.
