THE TAPSCOTT MUTINY.
[By Teleuraph.] The captain’s version of the affair on board the American ship AVilliam Tapscott is as follows : —The ship left Enderby’s Island on the 9th June, and all proceeded quietly until the twenty-third day, when off the Navigation Islands. The chief mate then sulked duty, and was therefore ordered to his cabin. The mate denied the captain’s authority, and challenged his power to keep order. He also asked that all hands should be called aft, in order to hear the grounds on which he was placed under arrest. This being complied with, the mate stopped the captain from explaining the matter, and complained to the crew of the ship being unfit to proceed round Cape Horn. He used violent language, and the crew also became violent, the men insisting on the vessel being run to the nearest port. The captain replied that he did not think the circumstances justified such a course, but, if necessary, he would adopt it. The crew refused to do duty, after negotiations between them and the captain. The men then rushed at the latter, knocking him down. They then put him in irons by order of the second and third officers, and confined him in his cabin. In the evening, the captain got the irons off one hand, armed himself with the only available weapon—an axe, and went on to the poop. The second mate threatened to shoot him, and was about to carry out his threat, when tho captain struck him with the axe on the cheek. The mate had previously fired a revolver shot from the main deck at the captain, hut without any effect; the second shot took effect in the captain’s left knee. The crew then began to pelt the captain with all sorts of missiles, and five other shots were fired at him by the mate. The captain was then obliged to go below, severely bruised. Since then he has been kept in his cabin under close arrest.
