A signed complaint is on its

•igainst the manner in which Ihe
"watch" of ihe steamer Dora
buried a man at sea three hours
after the Dora had left Kotiiak for

marine regulations were brought
here by Ihe ship-wrecked crew of
tlie schooner Joseph Iln^s, mi the
lici t ha recently.
As flie sfnry isors a man <»i»
