They were brought before Commander Rumsey at the Harbour Office this morning, when the captain stated that yesterday the chief engineer complained to bim that the men had refused duty, offering as an excuse. that they were ill.

When running forward to will the pig with his hunting knife, Mr. White was shot through the heart by Sikh, standing on the other side of the dogs and pig, and fell dead instantly.
