Giant Skipper Quells
Hard-Boiled Mutiny
New York.—Captain John Bergsten,
a two listed skipper, yesterday warped
the Shipping Board steamer Kastern
Ocean alongside her pier with the re
mark that he had completed one of the
toughest voyages in his life.
Contributing to the toughness was a
series of lights which rose in a cres
cendo to a full-fledged mutiny, requir
ing assistance of a United States de
stroyer at Novorossisk before it could
be quelled, the captain said.
Also jotted down in the log was a
collision with a submerged object that
nearly spelled the ship’s doom, and a
forced landing on shores of the Black
sea, whence the Kastern Ocean had
gone with 7,100 tons of wheat seed for
Russians.
By wav of a finale, customs men
*ound BO bottles of rum aboard the ship.
They exonerated the captain after he
bad told his story.
This is the story
The Kastern Ocean put out from
Philadelphia, with a crew recruited
there. This crew, the captain said,
turned out to be an old-fashioned hard
fisted outfit.
Two dayt out the first light started.
Cooks and stewards staged it in a ring
made by their cronies. The captain
overlooked it.
For the next three days the battle
continued. Tt could not be overlooked.
Twice the captain, a six-footer, said he
had been compelled to ask assistance
from steamers within hailing.
Finally, 13 days out, Captain Berg
sten beached his steamer near Novor
rosisk; threw 2,00ft tons of wheat over
board, and lightened the ship by load
ing the rest onto smaller vessels hd had
called to his aid.
Steaming out of Novorrossisk, how
ever, the real mutiny began. Then the
chief engineer, the captain said, de-!
manded salvage for saving the ship, j
and the crew backed him up.'
l,My officers and myself fired re
volvers over the heads of the men sev
eral times,” said the captain, “and
kept them at bay. In the harbor was
a United States destroyer and I finally
asked for help.
“They sent forty men and officers
aboard. There wa3 a short but vicious
fight; the chief engineer was put into
irons and taken ashore and the men
were sent to quarters.
“ It was then 1 learned the men had
brought rum aboard. They were mem
bers of a notorious Philadelphia water
*ront gang and did nothing but fight.
We went to Constantinople to load be
fore ceturni ng home.”

Use of Hero Names
On ‘Ads’ Is Protested
Chicago.—Protest against the use by
“ad” writers and sign painters of the
names of great Americans in the ad
vertising of suspenders, insect powder,
whiskies, automobiles, pool halls, etc.,
was voiced Monday bv the United
States Daughters in convention here.
“We have Washington coiTee, An
drew Jackson hosiery, Molly Pitcher
corsets, and a short time ago a murder
was committed in the Lincoln Car
dens,” said one of the speakers.
“How can a foreigner become a good j
American when his conception of ourj
national heroes is their connection J
with some brand of whisky, or cigar
ettes, ora pool hall, or socks, or sus
penders?” _
Plenty of Profit in
Bootleg Olive Oil
New York.—Recent prosecution by j
the health department of dealers ae- j
cused of adulterating olive oil, says
Commissioner Copeland, has shown
there is more profit in this adultera- j
tion than in bootlegging. In three |
months 27 cases have been presented to
the courts.
“The practice.” says Copeland, “is
becoming a menace to honest import
ers. Some have substituted cottonseed !
and peanut oil for olive oil. Five to!
six million gallons a year are imported.
Of the oil we examined last year 17 pes
cent was adulterated. Pure olive oil
has a golden yellow or straw color. The
inferior brand is greenish.5
