RAISING THE WIND.
RIVER STEAMER'S STUNT.
SKIPPER INTROUBLE,
www.+
How the crew of the river steamer" Sun, On", who have not seen the colour of their money for many moons, took matters into their own hands and tried to
raise the wind" by running a cargo of salt to Macao was re- lated this morning to the Marine Magistrate (Commander C. W. Beckwith R.N.) before whom the master of the vessel, Li Ping, was brought on a summons.
Li Ping was charged with having unlawfully anchored his ship near Ma Wan Istand and with having given false partienlars on his port clearance. He pleaded guilty to both counts.
Chief Preventive Officer Clarke described to the Marine Magistrato how this enterprise came to be nipped in the bud. He said that about 5 p.m. last Friday a man caine to him outside the Harbour Office and gave Information that the "Sun On" had been "stolen out of the harbour." C.P.O. Clarke advised him to report this to the police and later on in the evening someone else told him that there was a steamer behaving suspicious- ly at the back of Ma Wan. He then went out * in his motorboat and found the "Suu On" anchored between Ma Wan and the mainland with six junks. and a steam launch alongside her. Five of the junks had discharged loads of salt into the ship and thei sixth junk was still discharging. He remained on board and had the ship brought back into the harbour next morning. There were about 7,000 piculs of salt on board, The whole of the cargo was taken out and examined but nothing suspicious was found. The captain's port clearance re- ported the ship to be in ballast. An export permit for some cargo other than salt was in order.
Questioned about the port clear- ance by the Marine Magistrate, the defendant explained that he had intended to go to Wuchow in ballast to bring back a cargo of firewood. The crew had had no wages for several months and wanted to take the salt to Macao in order to earn some money.
"It seems to me," remarked Commander Beckwith, that this nan thinks he can do just as he likes. On the first charge he will be fined $100, or one month's hard labour and on the second $250, or two months hard labour. Taking into consideration that there is considerable difficulty in getting hold of the real owner of the "Sun On," I order that this per sua must present himself before a clearance is granted to the steainer."
