STABBING AFFRAY ON BOARD THE BARQUE ANDES.
SECOND EDITION
A rather serious affray took place on board the barque Andes, now lying in the Timaru roadstead, yesterday afternoon. It appears that Henry Leema, the Dutch cook,got leave to come ashore in the morning, and improved the shining hours by imbibing more intoxicating liquor than was good for him. On returning to the vessel about four o’clock in the afternoon, Leema became quarrelsome, and very soon managed to fall out with the ship’s carpener. High words gave place to blows, and in the midst of the scrimmage the Dutchman pulled out a metal tinopener, similar to those used in opening tinned fish, and stabbed his antagonist in the head with it. On the men being separated the carpenter was found to have sustained a wound on the head about three inches long, and rather deep, the blood flowing very freely. Fortunately Dr Chilton, of the Hospital, chanced to be on board, and his services were speedily called into requisition in sewing up the wound. This morning Detective Kirby, accompanied by a constable, proceeded on board the Andes and arrested the cook, who will make his appearance before Mr Beethara on Monday.
