A CHINESE JUNKETING.--A rather grave disagreemen and some disturbance took place yesterday, on board the Chinese junk, between Capt. Kellett and his mate and a portion of the Chinese crew, some of whom, the captain alleges, have been made discontented by parties who wish to seduce them from his service. The pecuniary offers held out to them have unsettled them, but they are too cunning and suspicious to release the captain from his responsibility in reference to them, and the consequence has been a disposition to mutiny and riot. They had smoked opium so freely, during their meditations upon the matter, that the riotous spirit yesterday obtained the ascendancy, and its first indication was a demand for the wages, which the captain tendered to the discontented, and offered them a bonus of twenty dollars if they would return their original agreements or give him a release in full from all claims. This they refused to do; and under the excitement of the opium made a severe attack upon the captain and mate. They were, however, eventually subdued, and some of the ring-leaders, it is said, were taken to the police office. We saw two of them evince a similar spirit some time ago. While we are writing this, some half dozen of them have passed our office, on their way from the station house, probably, for examination on the charge. The poor fellows seem disconsolate enough, and one of them we saw wiping tears from his eyes. Their names are Assoy, Ayong, Lonee, Attee, Attoo, Tinding and Corotin; and they were this morning committed for violently assaulting Edward Rinett, second captain to the junk. Law Courts New York Daily Tribune September 8, 1847, p.2 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT--[…] /The Chinese Junk/.—Mr. Lord, on behalf of Hia Siang, Ung Fl, Lim Chingal, Khosing Thiam, and 22 others, (26 in all,) seamen of the Chinese Junk, the Keying, filed a libel against the vessel, claiming wages from September last, when they started from Whampoa, near Canton—also for maintenance here during proceedings, and for sufficient to enable them to procure a passage back to Whampoa (the latter requiring between $100 and $200 each.) The claim that such was the agreement for the voyage, which they understood was to be for Batavia or Singapore, and not to occupy over eight months. Mr. Burr, on behalf of Capt. Kellet, of the vessel, made objections, but the Court thought the men had a right to libel the vessel, and show, if they could, that the wages and allowances are due to them. The order was allowed.

We do not know how much longer she will remain here, but the native crew are going home soon in a merchant vessel. The Chinese and the Junk New York Daily Tribune October 4, 1847, p. 1
