On arrival at Auckland they 7 took twenty electric globes fr6m various clusters of lights, ami deliberately smashed them on the wharf. The captain asked them if they had any complaints, but they refused to give any information, and constituted themselves a secret society. They have become so unbearable, and made (liemselves so disliked, that the captain no longer desires their presence on the ship,” The accused declined to make any explanation from the box. “Sabotage such as this must be stopped,” said the magistrate. “Each man will be ordered to pay £2 for the damage he has done, ami partly as punishment and partly as a warning to others, will he sentenced to throe weeks’ imprisonment with hard la hour.”
