NEW YORK HERALD, FRI “TYUONY ON THR MERCURY. Escape of Sixteen Boys from the Schcolship. A BOATMAN STABBED. Exciting Chase After the Fugitives to the fain Land, RECAPTURING THE RUNAWAYS. Two of the Desperadoes Still at Large in the City. ‘The schoolship Mercury is at present lying in the Bound, between Hart’s Island and City Isiand. Bhe is a sort of floating penitentiary or naval | ‘training academy for young scapegraces taken trem the streets by the police or sent to the ship Dy their parents for misconduct at home. She ‘Belongs to the United Staves ana ts under the con- trol of the Commissioners of Charities and Correc- | tion. She is a fine vessel, weil built, weil Bigged, cleanly kept and thoroughly comfortable. Wer average crew ta sixteen men, four officers @acluding the captain), ana 250 youths and boys. | @uring the aummer months she is retained in port, and in the winter she ts sent cruising into the Southern seas. While in harbor the boys are con- tantly drilled and exercised, and when at sea ‘Shey are instructed in seamanship apd naviga- tion. Every element necessary to make them Competent sailors is brought into their studies, @né@ when opportunities occur of getting them wood positions they are transferred to other ‘Vessels and left to shift tor themseives. Of some ‘very indifferent material put on board the ship @eme very good has been turned out, and the ofi- ers point with no small satisfaction to several striking instances of the Mercury’s teaching and ‘@iscipline. These are the cases of boys who had ‘ween placed on the ship by friends or sent there by Police justices, who on quitting the school and taking service in the regular marine, won for | ‘themselves places of emolument and trust. Occa- sionally, the officers admit, they get hold o! charac- ters sorefractory that kindness, good treatment and even RIGID DISCIPLINE ‘are unavailing to change the studbvorn course of ‘their nature into even channels. Owing to the parsimony of the recently dismissed Commis- sioners of Charities ana Correction the ship nas ‘been allowed to remain in port this winter 1n- stead of going on her regular annual cruise. ‘The money that should have been spent for tnis pur- Pose has been otherwise used by the Com- Maissioners, and the vessel has been kept at her anchor in the Sound. Some very wgerious consequences have resulted from this neglect and mismanagement. The boys, Who ought to have been at sea learning a ro.ession by which they could live as men, were ept half idie on board the ship and iound tood for their unoccupied minds and time in the perusal Of dime literature and iilustrated periodicais, The | stories of marvelious adventure and desperate | Undertakings they read in these puolications at odd times during the day tuey acted at night | detween decks, and the frequent indulgence in tis | sort of pastime so inflamed ‘heir winds that many | of them were desirous of becoming heroes o1 the stripe that filied the pages o1 these dangerous books. A strong proof ol this was given on Sun- day evening last. The Rev. Mr. Willetts had con- | eluded the evening service and a boat bad been ordered out to carry bim from the siip to Hart’s Island. Ali the boys were then oa deck roaming about at will, They are allowed the ireedum of | the ship to acertain line ait woen not on duty.

A Sunday caim and quiet rested upon the | gea and jand, and to all appearances te ship was enjoying the same conteuted ease. The smoke from tne galley fue and an occasional struggling £olumn stealing iazily irom a chimney on the laud, ‘with a stray sea bird here and there, were the only evidences of life that struck readily upon tng Wiew beside the officer oi the waich pacing | @o and fro upon tie quarterdeck, thinking, ably, on the monotony of mis life and asuring the time that would bring tim relief and rest.

An announcement that the boat was ready started nim to bis ieet, aud he moved toward the gangway.

While he talked an alarm was raised, and in an fnstant the ship was in Commotion irom stein (o stern. The boys shouted and yelled; the men Foared and bellowed, aud all rushed simuita- Beously to the gapgway side. Quick as a fash the | Captain was on tne quarterdeck. He got there just in time to see ten stout lads pulling lustily on ‘the same Dumber Of oars in the cutter and two Gesperate young scoundrels sitting in tbe stern e@beets, acu with a pistol in his hand covering the Towers in a line on either side of the boat. The cutter was moving irom the ship.
