CHINESE MUTINY.
TROUBLE ON BRITISH TANKER. OFFICERS ATTACKED WITH KNIVES. (Received Sunday, 11.45 p.m.) ROME, August 28. A mutiny of the Chinese crew, numbering 26, on the British tanker Haliotis, at Naples, was only controlled when the Fascist militia, w r ith drawn revolvers, boarded the vessel and locked the mutineers in two cabins. The trouble arose when the captain rebuked the helmsman for negligence as the ship w r as about to sail. The helmsman closed with the master, biting him severely on the hands before he was driven off by other British officers. The helmsman called the other Chinese and they rushed the bridge, armed with knives and other weapons. The officers defended themselves till the militia arrived. One Chinese was taken to hospital.
