On (ho passage of tlv* l-abd!a Brown a serious disturbance occurred. It ■appears from tbo lo<r that on the lS'h ult.. at one 7j.»n..-;«i lafc. 32= 20' S; him! lonjj-5-4 3 01'E, the captain was in his cabin, and hearinjj some words betwwn Ij is chief o/Hcer and one of the scamvn. wentttpon deck to discover the cause of ■ thorn, ■when' he found the man at the wheel in a state ot' intoxication, and refusing to jjo forward as ordered by (he mate. The'cuphiin told him to go forward «r. .entro, and as he still refused and was very insolent ■he was removed by force. Dui-injr thi< time it ha- 1 been blowicir a gale, anil *by "his ■ unskilful ' mana-reim-nt of the wheel the ve.-sel hid been several times placed in very awkwnrd positions Alter thi-s ma ■ (John BfC»cr) was removed fiom the wheel ho was j line i by George Williams, another scunan, who eauae aft, and who was also under the influence «>F liqu.;r, I'erwccii them they eon'rived to get tlie c-.i[)t;iin clown, and Ihev tlien kicked liim severely on the forehead and fprom.

' Piu-juij the whole »f this lime, nod subsequently, the two men were very insolent, and frequently declared it to be their jutenti-m to tab; the life of the captain.
