GREEK SEAMEN MUTINY
(United P.A.—bp Telegraph Copyright) (United Service) LONDON, Thursday. “We have had a mutiny among the crew and on our arrival we must discharge the Greek sailors responsible/* This was the text of a wireless message picked up to-day at the St. Catherine's Point station from the steamer Akropolis, en route from Rotterdam to Cardiff. The vessel was 13 miles off the Isle of Wight. Neither the Admiralty nor the dockyards officials received a call for assistance. It is therefore presumed that the captain is proceeding to Cardiff, where he will land the malcontents. The Akropolis is a vessel of 3.584 tons, built in 1007 at Glasgow, and owned Uy Basil Bruskos, of Greece.
