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. “Seaman was mad at me, he con tinued, ‘ because I wanted him to go DAWSON, GEORG I THURSDAY. MARCH ? 1878. 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.
