A Fight at Sea.
Timaiuj, yesterday. There was a lively row on the s.a. Morayshire between Oamaru and here last night. Seven firemen have been arrested for assaulting Captain Millar and the first and second engineers, and a passenger named Wilson. Belaying pins were used, and a knife was out. The captain had to draw his revolver to quell the disturbance. The men will be brought up this afternoon.
