Arrival of the Last Cargo of Ship- wrecked Whalemen, One of the Sailors When Dying Confessed He Was an A:sassin—Supyos d To Be in the Nathan Murder Seeret. Attempt to Reach the Abandoned Vessels—Aid for the Crews. TELEGRAM TO THE MEW YORK HETALD Hono.vtv, Nov. 1, Via San Feanoisoo, Nov. 21, 1871. The last ship has Jost arrived here from the foe-bound regions of the Arctic Ocean, from the spot where were wrecked the entire whaling fleet, previously announced to the Heap, and which has oow an interesting, though melancholy interest. This vessel brings the last of the shipwrecked sailors from the abandoned vessels of the merchant whalers, who have been exposed to many perils, but who now consider themselves for- fwnate to arrive bere alive and without fur- ther casualty. ‘These men are now being tenderly cared for by the authorities. They have all been sup- plied with warm clothing, and whatever com- forts they desire are speedily furnished by those having the unfortunate fishermen in Charge. The cost of boarding, supplies and attendance reaches to abont one thousand dollars a day. DEATH OF THE SUPTOSED MUEDERER OF MR. NATHAN, One of the shipwrecked seamen who died at the United States Hospital two days ago has Made astatement which has created a sensa- tion among all circles. While he was stretched on his deathbed he was visited by a shipmate, to whom he con- fessed the startling fact that he was’ @marderer. Being asked what had led him fo the commission of such a crime he avowed “that it was for the purpose of obtaining Money. He was pressed by his shipmate to Gisclose the full details of the horrible affair, and thus ease his conscience before he de- parted on that journey which was at that mo. Ment inevitable, He confessed somé particu- lars which led directly to the belief that he was either the principal actor or else an im- portant accomplice in the atrocious massacre Of Mr. Benjamin Nathan, in New York, last year. ALLEGED AITEMPT TO REACH THE WHALING FLEET. ‘The captain of the whaling bark Chance*re- ports that she experienced strong northeast . erly gales, which set in bofore he left Behring Straits. The gales lasted from the 28d of September until the 1st of October. In the fecond place he states that he intended to make an attemp! to reach the abandoned fleet of whaling ships, but discovering that his vessel was not sufficiently seaworthy he was Oompelied to give up the project, An opinion prevails here among mariners in general that the whalemen were precipitate in their flight from the iceberg bound craft, and that they sbandoned the vessels too soon. The United States steamer Pensacola will gail next week for Honolulu, to relieve the shipwrecked seamen of the Arctic fleet, over @even hundred of whom have been assisted by fhe American Consul.
