A disturbance aboard a ship docked in New York City ends with a crewman dead of a gunshot wound

Aboard the Havana and Vera Cruz Company steamship Manhattan, moored at a New York City pier but preparing to sail that evening, a stoker was shot and fatally wounded.  Disgruntled stokers had attacked the ship's second mate Henry Curwin who defended himself with a revolver and shot 24-year-old Irish-born Martin Daley in the head.  Daley soon died at the City Hospital and Curwin was arrested.  (By John Osborne)
