Tim crew of Cnion Company's steamer Wiiiiitapil refused to take the vessel to sea last night, awaiting instructions from the Seamen's Cnion. It is understood that they objected to a certain person visiting the ship yesterday, and that a 21 hour strike was decided cm a- a protest. There was no grievance agaiimt the ship or I In- officers. The Waiiitapii is now aiidioreel in llit* stream. She is expected to depart to-night. The steamer Waitoapu. which was delayed in port fur nearly twenty-four hours by the action of the crew, sailed on Saturday afternoon. The strike was appai'quly the Vnioii’s new idea of eiitori-ing its wishes.
