Australian Seamen Repatriated

Red Agitators' Endeavours to Cause Trouble Thwarted Melbourne, July 10.

The liner Mamilius arrived to-day with the repatriated crows of the Commonwealth liners Largs Bay, and Hobson's Bay.

'A report signed a number of the men shows that "red" agitators during the voyage from Liverpool tried to stir up trouble, 1 however, was prevented by the tact of the captain and officers and crew of the Mamilius, who supported the moderate element among the reputriated men. After the agitators hud tried to stir up a revolt the moderates draped the bulkheads the vessel with Union Jacks, the National Anthem was played and a concert was arranged.—Reuter.
