AN UNFORTUNATE AFFAIR
SYDNEY, May 27. The German Consul-general, reporting on the disturbances caused by German seamen on May 7, saye that no one regrets the incident more than he himself, and the whole German community joins in this feeling. Inquiries showed that most of the German seamen belonged to the crew of a British ship, and were returning aboard after drinking with some friends from a German ship. The mummery worn by the men was the same as that used when celebrating " crossing the line." That tV - seem to have had no intention to insu.. the memory of the late King may be taken from the fact that on returning aboard the British ship the men declared they did not come ashore till night, and were not aware of the King's death.
