Inspector O'Toole appeared for the police and outlined the case. Accused, he said, was found by the captain in the saloon drunk and incapable. He was told to leave and take no more drink that day but threatened the captain, who saw something like a knife in his hand. The matter was reported to the police but the arrest was not effected owing to the menacing attitude of the rest of the German crew, However, the following ing the accused surrendered to the police.
This evidence was corroborated by the captain, who said that he did not want the accused back on the ship again.

Melchers & Ca., the agents, to sign a bond to send the man back to his home on_ the next boat whether the term of the sentence had expired or not.
