STEAMER HELD UP
CREW REFUSE WORK TROUBLE FINALLY OVERCOME j J'er Press Association ; AUCKLAND, July 4. The small steamer Gunbar was unable to sail for Gisborne and Napier until seven o’clock to-night. A seaman, who refused to sign the articles on re-engagement after being dismissed on the ground of insubordination, was again dismissed, £jid he was supported by the crew, who refused to take the vessel to sea if a substitute were engaged. The men’s action was taken against the wishes of the union officials, and the crew were informed that if they continued to refuse to take the vessel to sea they would all be dismissed. Eventually the men were persuaded to consent to a substitute being engaged, and resumed duty.
