Drew Revelver On Stokers
Norfolk, Va., Sept. 17. - The Old Dominion liner Princess Anne, Captain Tapley, from New York to Norfolk with a passenger list of 100, steamed slowly into harbor last night. Off Fenwick island the full strength of the gale struck ship. Every door and window was closely fastened, the hatches battened down and orders issued that no one save the crew be allowed upon the decks, already waist deep in a seething mass of water. According to the report of the passengers, the force of stokers refused to work. Captain Tapley drew a revolver, and pointing it at the crowd, ordered them back to work. They obeyed. At the time of the mutiny the ship was only in eighteen fathoms of water and drifting nearer shore.
