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 SOUTHERN. BANNER; FEBRUARY 26,, J878 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.

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.
