A NAUTICAL ROLL
PIE-STALL AMENITIES BLUEJACKET HITS OUT THTAVING more than the orthodox nautical roll just after midnight on Saturday, John Murdoch Dunbar, of the “King's Navee,” went to a pie-stall, and the result of his visit was an appearance at the Police Court this morning. He pleaded not guilty to charges of being disorderly while drunk, and using insulting language. The keeper of the pie-stall said that Dunbar staggered through the curtains just after midnight, and somebody said “there’s a roll on to-night.” Dunbar replied that it was no worse than usual. “Everybody laughed at this,” said witness, “but the sailor turned nasty and struck a, man. He aimed at me too, but hit a lamp instead." Mr. Dickson, who appeared for Dunbar, said he would be dealt with also on l>is ship. He was fined 30s on each charge.
