FORCED CANNIBALISM. Special Mrpateh to The Chicago Tyibune. Nrw Yorg, Feb, 13.~Faw tales of suffeting at nen nre more terrible In thelr detatls than the experiences of the crow of the Ballie Steal. man. The story of tha exhaustion of provis. fons, tho ahooting of tho manlac colored saflor, and his subsequent butchery to furnish faod for the famished crew, Is fally corroborated by sev- eral of the seamen brought to thig city this af- ternoon by the Bpeedwell. The crew of thg wrecked vessel wete Capt. 8, G Tlighy; Mates, Somers, Steward, Sylvester, R. Herbert, and Davld Barrett; 8 white scaman, and three col. ored scamon, George Hicks, Walter S8ampson,and Gcorgo Seaman. After thelr provisions gave out, thelr sufferings wero terrildo beyond youd description, but 1t seems the butchercd sallor, who was ‘reported to have been driven mad by starvation, was subject to fits of insani. ty, and had acted violently on other occasions, Deprivation brought on renowed insanlty during the week in which the vesscl was tossed about unprovisionad. After, belng over a mouthap sen,and as dayafter day paesed without the fam- {shed men belne ablo to obtain anything but cof- fee to appease thelr hunger, hio becamo at times raving, ana would jumo from his bunk at night and tramp through thovesscl, acting so strange. 1y that his fellows feared to zo near Lim. Jan, 80, after being out forty-three days, Beaman aprang from his bunk early In the morning, and ran up on deck, whero ho ngaln talked wildly, and threatened to shbot the Captafn. The Int- ter having gradnally gotout of his way, S8caman returncd to the forccastlo, whera he yelled te Sampson, who was asleep In his bunk, to come up on deck. While 8ampson was hastily dress. ing himself, the maniac sallor called to lim azaln, threatoning to shoot him if ho did not Instantly obey. Sampson began to rotreat slowly toward tho door, keeping his eye upon tho fneanc man, to quard ngalnst boing attacked unexpectedly, When he reachod 4o deck he saw Seaman, 8o ho says, place hia hand in his pistol-pocket, and then, feating for his lifc, ha drev a plstol and_ fired at Seaman, striking him on the head benind the car. After being shot Seaman rushed to the deck, but fell dead {n his tracks when ho had wone but o fow steps. The crew, It scems, et the hody lay for four hours, dunng which tima tho proposition that the dead man’s flesh be caten was discussed. Then S8ampson was given an ax by the mate, and, approaching the corpse sovered the head [fromethe body., The he wna wrapped in canvas. and thrown overboard, Darrett thon stripped off as much of the flesh from the legs and trunk na he could, and, when he floally ceased the butchory, the flesh was placed in a barrel and salted down, and tho mn- tilated carcass was "“P“"‘l incanyas and thrown oyerbontid. Somo of thg tlesh was immediately thrown Into a pot, parbolled, and then fried inapan. Most of the crew turncd sick at the thought of such unnatural food, but their hus- ger ot length prevatled over thelr consclencs and revulsion of taste, and they partook of twa meals. Their experience of tho canniballstic repast was_varled, Barrett, who butchered tm corpse, and who ate about a pound and a b of tho flesh, declaring it tasted as ** good as an beofatenk hd ever eat.” ‘The novossity for auc food ended on the following day, when, afier forty-five days of awfal suilering, the crew ol the dismantfed and fast-sinking vesscl sighted the Speedwell, and soon wera safo on board thio vessel and bound for New York. Alttougk uothing was broached upon the subject to-day, no doubt the condict of tho crew will be s sul Ject of investipation by the United States Stip. ping Commisslon of this port. Capt. IHlgby was recommended to pcrlon-l.lly call the attem tion of the Government officiafa ta the matter, but whether hie has dono 80 or not could not be ascertained. i RUN OVER AND KILLED.
