BRITISH STEAMER CHARGE AGAINST

Japanese Quarter - Master

Sent To Prison

"Discipline on board the ship seemed to be practically nil. It may be all right under some flars but not under the Britlik Flag. It looks to be a very near mutiny and accused' seems to have carried that into actual fact not only by striking the Third Officer, with his fists, but later returning with a poker and attempting to attack him from behind," said the Hon. Cmdr. G. E. Hole, Harbour Master, in the Marine Court yesterday, when he passed sentence of 12 weeks' hard labour on IL Wakisita. Japanese quartermaster of the 1.3. Silkworth, who was found guilty of having assaulted A. Sanuki, third 'officer and fellow-countryman, on the morning of January 28. while the vessel was on a voyage from Hong Kong to the Philippines.

Giving' evidence, Saduki stated that on the morning of January 28, acting on the instructions of the Chief Officer. he asked ac- cused to clean the bridge.

Accused said that as he was not on duty, he would not take the "job and asked witness to go to the Chlef Engineer who would be able to report to the Chief. Officer re- garding the duties he had been engaged on that morning.

"Accused told me to go and see the Chief Engineer, the interpre- ter," said witness. "I told him to go himself. He insisted that I should go so I went to the Cap- tain and Chlef Officer and report- ed-the matter.

TOOK OUT REVOLVER "Accompanied by the Captain: and Chief Officer, I returned to the bridge where the quartermas- ter was waving a stlek which he held in his hand. The Captain took his revolver out, whereupon accused became quiet.

"Up to this time the sailors had been below, but they now came on to the bridge. They did not know what was happening, but one of them said to the Captain: 'It you shoot this man, you shoot us. as well,'

i

STRUCK WITH STICK

His Worship (impatiently): I have never heard evidence given so badly in my life. You're wast- ing my time and I am a busy man. When did the assault occur?- When the Captain came on the bridge at 9.20 a.m. accus- ed struck me with a stick in the presence of the Captain and Chief Officer."

Rebuking the witness, Els Wor- ship said: "First you said, you were only pushed, and then you stated you were hit with a stick. Evidently you are scared."

Captain John Jackson. master of the Silkworth, sald: On the day in question. the boatswain was ordered, in my presence, to wash down the deck. While the third officer was talking to the boatswain about the order, accus- ed entered into, conversation with the latter. Their discussion was in Japanese and I did not under- stand it.

A STEEL POKER Finally accused struck the Third Officer on the hand and was pulled away by the boatswain. Accused then ran to the lower deck and secured a steel poker He then returned and attempted to assault the Third Officer with it.'

"After the Second Engineer had

"As I saw the Japanese crew ap- appeased the crew, accused reproaching, I went to my room and marked 'I am responsible for all this trouble.' The Captain' then ordered the ship to turn back to Hong Kong.

His Worship. When are You coming to the assault? You have told us a lot about what happen- ed on the bridge, but you have said nothing about the assault?- There was no particular assault. When accused asked me to fetch the Chief Engineer, he was' way- ing the stick about and he just pushed me.
