STOWAWAYS ON THE MALTA.
Interesting Claim by Former Employee,
This morning in the Police Court, before Mr. E. EL Lindell, two Indians were charged with [stowing away on board the P-&
O. ss. Melte from Shanghai.
The defendants said they had received, permission from the Captain to travel to India from Shanghai. They had shown him their certificaten and had told him they had no money.
Mr. O. 0. Talbot, master of the Malta, said that the day after the vessel Jeft Shanghai, the chief engineer_roposted that these men were on board. Witness asked il they had tickets, and one, dated five years back, was produced. Neither had witness' permission. to be on board. The only doon- ment produced was a certificate of discharge from the s.8. Him alaya, five years old.
The first defendent said that certificate allowed him to go from Shanghai to Bombay, and
At a later stage in the day a third defendant was brought up,
The oħief engineer Mr. R. Mio- Claren gave it as his opinion that the chief serang was to blame for bringing the men on board. d
The chief sarang said he did not inform the chief engineer of the presence of the three men until the ship had left Shanghai. The case was again adjourned.
