there was no particular effort on their
part to make it appear that the officers j

According to statements made yes
terday by the men ta a representative
of The Astorian. the mess aboard has
been unSt for a white man to eat.iThey
stated that they long "ago came to the
conclusion that government fare was
not just what it should be, but re
milncd at th-dr ibices in the hope that
conditions won 11 be bettered. How
ever, when the same old feed kept com
ing up the ladder they determined to
tjuit, and 41 men in all left yester
day, assigning this reason for their ac
tion. ' '
It is diificult to state Just what sort
of food the men received that was lack

Other members of the crw.who. were
seen about the matter' had a similar
ta'e to relate. They were hash-sick.
They seemed to b ifeve that bash was
sapping away their very lives and that
a strike was essential, , esecially to
view of the action of Captain Dunbar
the action of the men in leaving ttie
Chinock! I may eay, however, that I
have tried at all UnW to.be f:Jr wlih

The Other Side of tho Story.
Of course, there is another side to
the story. It is said the me have
I been furnished with practically the
ope of the men said yesterday It was same food that has been furnished the
almost a case of salt pork and bean officers. The offlcers, it was explained,
soup one flay and bean soup and salt ; occasionally were enabled to order a
pork the next. This man eaid a qual
ity of salted fish was provided that was
so thoroughly seasoned aa to be unfit
for ford, and that he had eaten hash
and stew until he was ashamed to look
them in the face. Hash and stew hold
enviable places is the estimation of
most people, even landsmen, but the
ai!or said he had demonstrated to his
own satisfaction that both dishes wlil
eventually become repulsive. He sighed
few eggs for breakfast, whereas the
nien. received eggs but twice a week.
Substantially, however, there la no dif
ference in the quality of food, and fre
quently the meals ore identical for of
ficers and men. (
It is asserted that the food of the
sailors was excellent in every respect,
and the statement that they have been
Improperly fed la denied absolutt;!)'.
