Strange Malay sailors worship ritual on steamship City of Dublin
On board the British steamship City of Dublin officers witnessed a Malay crew perform a grisly rite in port off Spreckels’ refinery. A priest led a blood sacrifice of a sheep, the heart raised and tossed into the water, as the crew chanted and then ate the meal. Captain Rae defended the crew as disciplined and respectful of their beliefs, while tensions flared with Christian observers. The scene ended with the crew reacting violently to perceived contamination at their mess.
