Port Harford was the next stop, and there the skipper tendered the men the full amount of money in cash, | but they demanded that he also pay their fare back to Santa Monica, where they first announced their in- tention of quitting. This he refused to do and the schooner put to sea with the four men aboard. ¥ Al during the passage up thé ar- | rested men positively refused to lend | a hand in working the schooner, and apparently enjoyved the increased labor that had been forced an the mate and the other three hands. When #he schooner docked the mate was obliged to cast the lines ashore himself and the four alleged mutineers jeered at him. SAILORS ARE ARRESTED. Policemen Edner and Helms halted the four men as they stepped on the dock, and Manager Wilson went aboard to consult with Captain San- ford. After the situation had been ex- plained to him he told the policemen to make prisoners of the four men, agreeing to swear out a complaint of mutiny to-day. They were handcuffed and taken to the Harbor Station first and later removed to the City Prison. Captain Sanford is firm in the be- lief that the men were gullty of mutiny when they refused to turn to at the command of the mate after leaving Santa Monica. He admits that when they wanted to quit he did not have sufficlent money to pay them in cash and offered the balance in checks on his owners in this city. When he offered them their pay in full at Port Harford he said they had no right to demand return passage to Santa Monica, where they first announced their intention of quitting. E. N. Nelson, speaking for himself and his three companions, said: We were fully within our rights when we refused to accept checks in payment for our services. Our articles call for yayment in ‘men| lawful money of the United States. We also hsd a right to remain with the schooner until | of wealth and Juxury.

But there are possibilities—or ‘“‘pos- | sabilities,” as Mr. Nesbitt Kingsland | of Navarre.” It is no worse and a | 8ood deal better than many romantic | plays taking up more room. Crude | |it is, windy and banal of dialogue; but | there are some genuinely striking sit- ! uationts, and the people of the play | live in romantic drammer-land. I may have missed much in missing the first act, as I did. The second act, finds the hero, Rene de Pardaillan, a fugitive from justice in the house of the | | mother of the man he has killed, has the real romantic thrill. Neither know who the other is, and the woman | has sheltered him in her bed chamber |and given him permission to go free. But come then the friends of her son | to tell her of his death in a duel. She | surmises immediately who is the man hidden behind the lace curtains of her bed. He overhears and understands. { The scene between Rene and the mother, proud, bitter, revengeful, but | who, noblesse oblige, tells the murderer of her son that he is still free to go, is quite thrilling. | 'The next act sags. Its mechanism is | creaky, its movement slow. Yet again, there are possibilities in the story. The i last act explains things not badly, and with an acre or two of pruned heroics would go. Mr. MacDowell is the strenuous hero and is quite at home with him. wonders sometifhes what Mr. | Dowell would do in the chestless drama. Still, 'twould be sad to such thoracic charms. But his virtues are occasionally irritating. When he slapped Rene's sternum last night and swore: “I will not go!” (da capo_ ad lib.) when his sweetheart urged him to fly for his life, there was nothing necessarily heroic in the action. But there were wads of heroism in the gesture. Still, the actor has nfany sin- cere and thoughtful moments in the plece and looks the part handsomely. Hig work is altogether, in fact, on a sincere and more thoughtful level this season. Miss Edith Fuller has the part of ths mother, and undertakes it plausibly. Rubert Elliott, who in the braggadocio role of Annibal Locust has to stay drunk for four acts, got all the laughs and much of the applause. The rest filled in in fair fashion. The piece is week. }l’lms tn BLANCHE PARTINGTON. | Time has dealt kindly with Truly Shattuck, who reappeared at the Or- pheum last night after a three years absence.
