Captain Girden Davison stated that the men refused to go on board their ship; he would be glad to take them back; they had no cause for complaint and had never been ill-treated, nor would they be if they went on board.
Hia Worship asked the men individually, if they refused he would have to send them to gool. If they had any complaint to make they must do it in a proper manner; he could not allow them to refuse duty with impunity.
