They failed, and the Hong Kong government demanded that the ship sail its 3,000 passengers to Taiwan immediately.

The ship, the Huey Fong, has been anchored in international waters off Hong Kong for more than three weeks. The government of the crowded British colony refuses to let the refugees land, and the captain refuses to sail because the Nationalist Chinese government on Taiwan won't accept them either. A spokesman for the refugees, Chu Hsien-ming, said in a radiotelephone interview: "The long wait here and chilly weather had caused these youths to become desperate and they tried to force themselves into the engine room. But we, the older ones, finally prevented them from doing so." Chu said the youths also tried to rock the Huey Fong "by running from one side to the other" while other refugees tried to keep it on an even keel. "This lasted for three hours and finally we calmed them down," he said.

Chu said the Huey Fong's captain, Shu Wen-shin, got a letter from the Hong Kong government a few hours after the incident saying if the ship did not leave for Taiwan immediately, no more provisions would be provided for the refugees, most ethnic Chinese fleeing Vietnam. Chu said the Hong Kong Marine Department also told the refugees that letters to their friends and relatives would be handed over to the representative of the U.N. High Commission for Refugees for forwarding only after the ship's departure. The Huey Fong rescued the refugees from nine sinking fishing junks on Dec. 17 while it was on its way from Bangkok to Taiwan.

The freighter was denied permission to enter Hong Kong on Dec. 23 and anchored about a mile and a half out in international waters. The government, which has given refuge to hundreds of thousands of refugees from China, said it would only accept Vietnamese from ships whose sched-' uled destination was Hong Kong.

(AP) -John "Jack" Kehoe, alleged leader of the Molly Maguires, reportedly has been pardoned posthumously in the murder of a mine official 100 years ago. Joseph Wayne, Kehoe's great-grandson and the driving force behind a pardon movement, said Monday Gov. Milton Shapp had signed a pardon, which the State Board of Pardons had approved.

The signing ended a one-year campaign by Wayne, members of his family and the Pennsylvania Labor History Society to exonerate Kehoe, who is now portrayed as a labor martyr. Kehoe was one of the organizers of the Workmen's Benevolent Association, a forerunner of many of U.S. labor unions. He was hanged Dec. 18, 1878, at the Schuylkil County prison after being convicted of killing mine official F.

W. S. Langdon. Kehoe's supporters have argued through the years that he was framed by mine owners seeking to stifle a growing union movement in the coal industry and violence attributed to the Molly Maguires, a secret Irish society.
