Captain Allen and the Schah Jehan. A public meeting was convened by Captain Allen, late of the Schah Jehan, to take place on Monday evening at the Exchange Hotel, Port Adelaide, for the purpose of taking into consideration "The position in which he is now placed by the Board of Enquiry in the matter touching his conduct at Wallaroo on the 29th and 30th of May last." The meeting was called for half-past 7 o'clock, but at half-past 8, although there was a large number of persons present, there were only two shipmasters in attendance; and His Worship the Mayor explained to the meeting that as Captain Allen was desirous of obtaining the opinion of nautical men, it would be useless to proceed with business without a larger attendance of persons capable of judging of his conduct with regard to the stranding and subsequent scuttling of the Schah Jehan, at Wallaroo. Several shipmasters had promised to attend, but had failed to do so, and Captain Allen did not, therefore, wish to detain those who had come forward.
