Captain and First Officer Stand Them Off—Man Killed Com- ing to Their Aid. United States Distrfot Attorney Leroy Ross of Brooklyn acting on information contained in an anony- mous letter summoned Capt. George Lunde and Chief Officer Gus Atkin- son of the steamship Polar Bear, now lying in Erie Basin, to appear at his office and explain why ¢ertain items of the cargo including a motor boat, @ quantity of skins and a consign- ment of drugs were not placed on the manifest. The Polar Bear arrived from Hamburg last week. The two officers told a story of a six months’ voyage that sounds like old time deep sea fiction—a tale of mutiny, murder, gunfights on board and controversies in port. Capt. Lunde claims the entry of the items im dispute was deliberately omitted from the manifest by a member of the crew for the purpose of getting the officers in trouble. ‘The Polar Bear, a 2,600 ton Shipping Board vessel, left Norfolk carly in September, bound for St. Thomas, Buenos Ayres, Hamburg and New York. Nearly all the forty-four mem- bers of the crew were Spaniards. Trouble started on the frst day out. Capt. Lunde and Chief Officer Atkinson are officers of the old school. They did not temporize with trouble makers in the crew. Disaffection spread and when St. Thomas was reached shore leave was denied. Late one night, while the ship was lying at anchor, about twenty mem- bers of the crew armed with knives, clubs and monkey wrenches, made a concerted attack on the quarters of Capts. Lunde and Atkinson. The officers were armed with revolvers and stood off the attack. ‘Two members of the engine room crew, William Doherty and William Donohue, attempted to go to the as- sistance of the captain and chief officer, Doherty was stubbed to death and Donohue was severely in- Juréd, losing an eye.
