[ P«r Pksb Association. I CHRISTCHURCH. Ma,ys. The crews of the Waikouaiti and the Waikawa to-day refused the owners’ offer of reduced pay and were all given 24 hours’ notice. The crew of the Holmglen also refused the terms and left, the ship. Eventually the vessel sailed, staffed only by officers and engi neers. The ferry steamer Maori sailed at the scheduled time. The authorities were evidently uneasy about the ferry steamer because police reinforcements from the city were on duty at the wharves. It is stated that the Union Company had a complete relief crew ready to go on board the Maori in the event of trouble.
