To-day another strike, more of a freaj; tfow the previous one, took place When tho 6te»mer was ready to foil it was found dreirable to put tho cook and tho stewartl ashore, and, to overcome the difficulty in staffing tho culinary department, one of the 6eame.n was pressed into service for the trip. The steamer cast off, but just before reaching the bar the crew came to the conclusion that they could not, or wonld not, sail without a properly qualified cook.
