Crew Completely Out of Hand Throws Deck Piano Overboard
(United P.A.—By Telegraph — Copyright) (Australian Press Association.)
Reed. 10.30 a.m. LONDON, Wednesday. FE voyage from Australia of the Esperance Bay, one of the Commonwealth Line steamers recently bought by the Ivylsant interests, was anything but a model of ship life. It is alleged that some members of the crew and the stewards got completely out of hand. The passengers were treated contemptuously, and the food was shoved in front of them. The crew bore an obvious air of gladness. It * was finishing connection with the Line, and it did not care twopence for the Commonwealth Government management. The stewards declared that, as the deck piano was provided by themselves for their own entertainment, they declined to give their successors the benefit of it. Therefore, they threw the piano overboard before reaching Hull.
