1 lie crow of the wrecked schooner
•Sallie M. Steelmen, who were dtiven
hy hunger t.. eating one ol their ship
ma'os, off the Bermudas, after they
had l een seven days without to, and,
' WP,e fdund yesterday in the hand
; 80me three-masted schooie r Hpeed-
Wf il, which rescued them on the 31st
I ult , and brought them into this port.
J The story of Capt. Highoe, of the
! Steelman, was published in the Sun
of yesterday.
Walter Sampson, who shut Q.-orge
Seaman iu the foiecastta, is a short,
thick, full-faceil negro, 21 %i>at3 of
age. Since Jait 31, the da eof the
rescue, ho was fully recovered from
the effects of i is long fas*. says
he got teriibly It.ingry and weak from
wot king at the pumps. Atone time
the schooner was within s'glit of the
hut the gale can e up again
and blew them off
‘On the morning- of Jan. 30,”
Sampson said, ‘‘George Seaman,
George Hicks, and Ia 1 colored, wnie
in the forecastle ti getlier. We were
all so wean we couldn’t w- rk at the
pumps. Seaman gave out first. I
think he wasn’t any worse than the
lest of us, hut he got jCrazy I don’t
think he was in his light mind when
he came aboard the senooner. ll*
had threatened to kill the Captain
tind Dtvid Barrett because Barrett
told him tocomeoutof the forecastle
and wotk at he pumps. I was in my
bunk. 1 don’t know whether it was
6 o’clock, 9 o’clock, or 12 o’clock. Ad
I know is that it wee in the morning.
Seaman is a mulatto. Ha shipped a*.
Charelston, hut said he came from
London. H<> was a smart fellow. He
used to be head cook on the United
St° tes man-of war W abash Once he
wotked 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 sy he was a
Spaniard, but he wasn’t. He came
inlo the forecastle on that morning
aud found me in tny bunk undressed
He ordered me to get up and go out
I don’t know why he wanted me to
go out Ho wasn’t afraid that I woul 1
hurt him, locause I was in my hun k
I think it was only a crazy id a. I
got up and hutried on with my clothes,
lie didn’t dr i w his pistol, hut I was
afraid o( him. VV hen I had got nay
clothes on I backed up toward the
door, keeping try eye on him. Just
as I stood by the door he yeih'd at roe
to ge' out, and put his band into t h
pocket of his jumper. Ho didot draw
n pistol, but I saw ho was g'ing to.
Afterward we found that lte had a
pistol in that pocket. Wheu lte put
his hand in I was ready for hint. It
was then between him and mo who
could shoot !he quickest. I shot three
times at his head. He didn’t draw
his pistol at all. Afterwards I found
only one wound. That wss on the
left side near his ear. He fell right
down and died. The first mart to
come into the forecastle after that was
the cook, Sylvester Herbert. Seaman
raised himself up and took hold of
him bv >he legs. Then be fell down
and died. The next man to come into
the forecastle was Capt. Higboe. He
a-ked all about what had happened,
and George Hicks aud I told him.
Then we all went out on deck. The
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 lieing questioned,
confirmed all the escential points of
the foregoing s'ory. Sampson said
his home was iu Beaufort, South Car
olina, where bis mother lives. His
father, Jacob Sampson, livid in Brook
lyn last summer. Walter thinks be
now lives in this city. He is a stove
founder by trade.
‘ Who cut up the body?” the repor
ter asked of Sampson.
“There is the roan,” said a short,
hollow-cheoked, wiry, red-whiskerod
sailor, standing at Sampson's side.
The sp aker had extended his arm,
but, with his wrist sharply turned,
was pointing at his own breast. This
was David Barrett of Great Egg
Harbor, N. J- He is one of the white
sailors.

to w-irk H*> had threatened to kill
i e. I have no doubt that if be had
got out of the forectstle..t that time
he would have kihedtwoor three <i
us. he hadn’t promised lo draw to s
to see who should he killed. Test
wa.- cot talked a 1 out, but we dal la k
about Seaman’s dying. We thought
he c- uldu’t last long, the way he was,
and we tepid lie would in. We weio
looking forward to that as our last
hope. *We ha-1 peny if witt-r. His
death, w knew, would be life to us,
hut nobody proposed to kill him, or
any one else After he had been ih-ud
lor some time 1 went to the Cap
tain, and he said, “Go ahead.” So 1
went into the foiecastle, where the
body had been left. This was iu ibn
anemone, I’m not certain obout the
tone. I dragged the body out of the
f tieoast e to an epen place on the deck
by lie side of the m dnmas'. Some
of the crew were lied tr g on. The rea
son I did this part of the woik was
because I was tbe strongest uian in
the vessel at that time. After cutting
the clothes away, 1 cut a piece ii 11 sh
weighing three or four pounds off of
one of his legs. This 1 put on tin*
stove and part oiled. Alter that 1
broiled pieces of -t on a gridiron, ami
gave them f > the re-t 1 did a 1 of
the cooking, but ail of u ate the meat.
I didn’t like the idea of It, tiu as I
remember the taste, it was veiy g od
better Ilian that of any meat 1 ever
tasted, tj.m.e of them put mustar t
ou it, and some ate it just as I gave it
to them. I did not see anybody cut
any of it tu-w. I cooked it ou tiie
stove in the galley.
“Altai we hail eaten some I went
back to the body on drek. 1 talked
with Tie Captain, and it was now a
quosiio • few long we oouid niikethis
man last. There were sis ul us lelt on
boaid, and all of us weie starving -
We had been Mown off the Bermud
as, and were, you might say, in mid
ocean, wit loot any means ol making
head-way. Our only chance was in
being p eked op, anti we We e ou of
the path of most vessels Tliere was
uo ue in being do icate, to cause, when
we got out ol meat ug mi, somebody
else might have to Lie killed. So 1
stripped the body, and then cut all the
meat off it that I eruid wherever 1
jouid jfet it. Alter that 1 brought
out ttie barrel in which we had had
our salt barf. The Mine was yet in
it. I port the meat iuto tr.is brine in
layers just as th beef had been put
in. With the brine aud all the bar
rel was about cne-tl.itd foil. After
that I sewed up what remained of
the body in iFcanvas suck and threw*
it ovet-board. Tucre was no ceremo
ny at the burial We did not think
much about that. I threw the sack
over"oard alone. What we Ate ol
the bo ly strengthened us a great deal,
i'tie iitxt day ive were taken oil by the
tfpeedwe 1 ”
First mate Sawye. of the Speed
well told the reporter that when lie
fell iu with the Steelman theio tyas
no hope of saving ..er in the condi
tion her crow were in. Ho saw a
piece of meat in a pot boiling, ou the
stove. He made three tiips to the
wreck, two take the crew off, and the
thitd to bring away what valuables
he could find from her. 0 i quitting
her the iast time he left the hatchway
open, so that she would fill and sink
more speedily, and thus he out of the
way of other vessels.
Sampson says be is waiting in the
Speedwell to give the proper authuii
ties opportunity to take action iu his
case if they desire to do so.

All thy birds and blossoms bring,
For evermore.

Peeping by the silvery rill;
Green grass crowning every hill,
And fertile shore.
G’adly then we turn t ur eyes,
Where the liquid azure lies;
To God’s in the skye3
Where colors play.
In the burnished tints of light,
Glowing prisms ever bright,
Giving joy and hope to sight—
In rich display.
When eternal spring shall spread,
Its beauties to the blessed dead.
With what delight thost feet will tread
The heavenly plains,
Wide and boundless son&y Zones,
Sweetest music’s magic tones;
There, gentle spring, exert thv throiies

Oh, horrors! There fast asieep, Under
