TROUBLE WITH CREW.
PORT DARWIN DELAYED. [THE PRESS Special Service.] AUCKLAND, November 15. Trouble with the crew last evening delayed the Commonwealth and Dominion Line steamer, Port Darwin, which did not sail for Gisborne, where she is to continue Homeward loading, until this morning. At sailing time, at nine o'clock, all the crew were on board with the exception of a baker, but when preparations were made to depart, two of the ship's complement informed the master that the stokers would not take the steamer to sea until their shipmate returned. The majority of bhe stokers then went ashore and wandered up to the wharf gates, but all argument in the hope of persuading them to return to their ship was useless. At 11 o'clock the Port Darwin's sailing was postponed until this morning and, as the missing baker returned to the ship during the night, there was no further delay to-day, the vessel getting away about seven o'clock.
