Man-Eating on the Ocean.
THE « KKW WIIO LIVED OV 'TIIE CORPSE OF
TIIEIR 8IIIPH.4TF.S.
The crew of the wrecked schooner
Snllic M. Steelman, who who were
driven by hunger to eating one of their
ehipmates, of! the Bermudas, after
they had been seven days without food,
were found yesterday in the handsome
three-masted schooner Speedwell,
which rescued them on, the 31st ult.,
and brought them into this port. The
story of Capt. Higbee, of the Steel-
raau, was published in the Sun of yes
terday.
Walter Sampson, who shot George
Seaman in the forecastle, is a short,
thick, full-faced negro, 21 years of
age. Since Jan. 31, the date of the
rescue, he has fully recovered from
Harbor, N. J. He is one of the white |
sailors.
“ Seaman was mad at me,’’ he con-1
tinuerl, “ because 1 wanted him to go
to work. He bad threatened to kill'
me. I have no doubt that if he had
got out of the forecastle at that time
he would have killed two or three of
us. We hadn’t proposed to draw lots
to see who should be killed. That
was not talked about, but we did talk
about Seaman’s dying, We thought
he couldn’t la&t long, the way he was,
and we hoped he would die. We were
looking forward to that as our last
hope. We had plenty of water. His
death, we knew, would be life to us,
but nobody proposed to kill him, or
any one else. After he had been dead
for some time I went to the Captain,
j and he said, “ Go ahead.’’ So I went

the effects of his long fast. He says ! into the forecastle, where the body
he got terribly hungry and weak from
working at the pumps. At one time
the schooner was within sight of the
Bermudas, but the gale came up
again and blew them off.
“ On the morning of Jan. 30,”
Sampson said, “ George Seaman,
George Hicks, and I, all colored, were
in the forecastle together. We were
all so weak we couldn’t work at the
pumps. Seaman gave out first I
think he wasn’t any worse than the
rest of us, but he got crazy. I don’t
think he was in his right mind when
lie came aboard the schooner. He
had threatened to kill the Captain and
David Barrett. lie got angry with
Barrett because Barrett told him to
come out of the forcastle and work at
the pumps. 1 was in qy bunk. 1
don’t kuow whether it was 6 o’clock,
9 o’clock, or 12 o’clock. All I know
is that it was in the morning. Sea
man is a mulatto. He shipped at
Charleston, but said he came from
London. He was a smart fellow,
lie used to be head cook on the United
States man-of war Wabash. Once ho
worked at steel making in Philadel
phia under the name of Joe Williams.
We used to think it rather odd that a
fellow as smart as he was should ship
before the mast. Some say he was a
Spaniard, but he wasn’t. He came
v<_ _ in^aythc forecastle on that morning
aud found me in ray bunk undressed.
He ordered me to get up and go out.
. I don’t know why ho wanted me to go
out. lie wasn’t afraid that I would
hurt him, because I was in my bunk.
I think it was only a crazy idea. 1
got up and hurried on with my clothes,
lie didn’t draw his pistol, but I was
afraid of bin). When I had got my
clothes on I backed up toward the
door, keeping my eye on him. Just
| as I stood by the door he yelled at me
to get out, and put bis hand into the
( pocket of bio jumper. 1 le didn’t draw
a pistol, but I saw be was going to.
Afterward we found that he had a
i pistol in that pocket. When he put
his hand in I was ready for him. It
was then between him and me who
could shoot the quickest. I shot three
had been left. This was in the after
noon, I’m not certain about the time.
I dragged the body out of the forcas
tle to an open place on the deck by
the side of the mainmast. Some of
the crew were looking on. The rea
son I did this part of the work was
because I was the strongest man in
the vessel at that time. After cutting
the clothes away, I cut a piece of flesh
weighing three or four pounds off of
one of the legs. This I put on the
stove and parboiled. After that I
broiled pieces of it on a gridiron, and
gave them to the rest. I did ail of the
cooking, but all of us ate the meat. I
didn’t like the idea of it, but as I re
member the taste, it was very good—
better than that of any meat I ever
tasted. Some of them put mustard on
it, and some ate it just as I gave it to
them. I did not see anybody eat any
of it raw. I cooked it on the stove in
the galley.
•• After we had eaten some I went
back to the body on deck. I talked
with the Captain, and it was now a
question how long we could make this
man last. There were six of us left
on board, and all of us were starving'
We had been blown off the Bermudas,
and were, yon might say, in mid-ocean,
without any means of making head
way. Our only chance was in being
picked up, and we were out of the
path of most vessels. There was no
use in being delicate, because, when
we got out of meat again, somebody
else might have to he killed. So I
stripped the body, and then cut all the
meat off of it that I could wherever I
could get it. After that I brought out
the ban el in which we had had our
salt beef The brine was yet in it. I
put the meat into this brine in layers
just as the beef had been put in.
With the brine and all the barrel was
about one-third full. After that I
sewed up what remained of the body
in a canvas sack and threw it over
board. There was no ceremony at the
burial. We did not think much about
that. I threw the sack overboard
alone. What we ate of the body
strengthened us a great deal. The
11 Kiss me, Will,” sang Marguerite
To a pretty little tnne,
Holding up her dainty mouth,
Sweet as Rosea bora in June.
Will was ten years old that day,
A ltd he polled her golden curls
Teasingly, and answer made:
“ I’m too old—I don’t|lusa girls.”
Ten years pass, and Marguerite
Smiles, as Will kneels at her feet,
Gazing fondly in her eyes
Praying, “ Won’t j*oh kiss toe, sweet!’
’Rite is seventeen to-day; >
With her birth-day .ring she toys .■
For a moment then replies:
“ Im to old—I don’t kiss boys!”
Why so Much Beauty iu
Poland ?
“Because,’’ says Bayard Taylor,
“ their girls do not jump from infancy
to young ladyhood. TIu*y are not
sent from the cradle to the parlor, ,to
dress, to sit still and look pretty.
No, they are treated as children
should be. During childhood, which
extends through a period of several
years, they arc plainly and loosely
dressed, and allowed to run, romp
and play in the open air. They take
in sunshine as does the flower. They
are not loaded down, girded about
and oppressed every way with count
less frill and superabundant flounces,
so as to be admired for their much
clothing. Nor are rendered delicate
and dyspeptic by continual stuffing
with candies and sweet cakes, as are
the majority of American childrca.
Plain, simple food, free and various
exercises, and abundant of sunshine
during the wolc period of childhood,
are the secrets of beauty in afetr Me.

down uud died. The first man to j w ;th the Steelman there was no hope
come into the forcastle after that was
the cook, Sylvester Herbert. Seaman
raised himself up and took hold of him
by the legs. Then he fell down and
died. The next man to come into the
forecastle was Capt. Higbee. He
asked all about what had happened,
and George Hicks and I told him.
Then we nil went out on deck. Tho
body lay there just as it fell for two
hours at least. Nobody went into the
forecastle during that time.”
George Hicks, who stood near
while Sampson was being questioned,
confirmed all the essential points of
the foregoing story. Sampson said
his home was in Beaufort, South Car
olina, where his mother lives. His
father, Jacob Sampson, lived in
Brooklyn last summer. Walter thinks
he now lives in this city. He is a
stove founder by trade.
“Who cut up the body?” the re
porter asked of Sampson.
“ There is the man,” said a short,
hollow-cheeked, wiry, red-whiskered
sailer, standing at Sampson’s side.
The speaker had extended his arm,
but, with bis wrist sharply turned,
was pointing at his own breast. This
was David Barrett of Great Egg
of saving her in the condition her
crew were in. He saw a piece of
meat in a pot boiling, on the stove.
He made three trips to the wreck,
two take the crew oft", aud the third
to bring away what valuables he could
find from her. On quitting her the
last time he left the hatchway open, so
that she would fill and sink more spee
dily, and thus be out ot the way of
other vessels.
Sampson says he is waiting iu the
Speedwell to give the proper authori
ties opportunity to take action in his
case if they desire to do so.

Washington while the electoral commission was
engaged in consumating the fraud that placed
radicalism once more iii power in our national
councils, are evidences conspicuous enough to
prove that no expense will be spared to make
