A Sailor who escaped on an Ice- box From the Foundered Steamer Arrives at this Point Now York Teibune, At work on the deck hauling ropes and furling sails with the other sea- men on the brigantine Pearl, which arrived from Port Spain yesterday, was Napolean Mathurin, another of the survivors of the steamship Baha ma, which foundered off Jape Hat- teras on February 10. Mathurin is a sailor, and is about five feet ten inch- es in height, with a clean shaven and woll browned face. With the excep- tion of a badly salivated mouth, he bore no evidences of his hard struggle of six days on an impromptu life-raft. “Want my story? Why, there isnoth- ing interesting about me or my expe- rience,” Mathurin said, in reply to a Tribune reportec’s question. ‘I am here, staunch and true; just wait un til Iget through with these ropes and sails, and I will tell you about it. T must give a hand to these fellows, for I was never 8o well treated In my life as I have been by Captain Brighton and his crew since they took me off ot my ice-box a week ago.” Just before reaching the Pierrepont stores, in Brooklyn, and making the vessel fast in the dock ahead of the ship Glenmorag which landed the thirteen other survivors of the Baha- ma here a week ago, Mathurin be- gan; “‘There's no need of my repeat- ing what you have already published about the vessel taking a heavy sea, which carried away the bulwarks, the deck houses, filled the vessel half full of water, put out the fires, and threw the steamer over on her side. When the two boats were lowered and we were all told to get in, I saw thatthey were filled beyond safety, and that if I got in, the second cook and a pas senger named Mona, who wero still on board the vessel, would have fol lowed and we all woeuld havebeen lost, I concluded to remain on board and take my chances. The captain’s boat had got about 200 yards from the vessel when a great sea caught her and she capsized. Isaw only two men afloat afterward, and they swam toward the steamer. As they. came aloagside I threw a rope over the side and hauled one of them on board; he was Charles Smith, one ot the sailors. Then we hauled the other fellow on board in the same way. He was John Peterson, another sailor. We did not think that the vessel would go down 80 soon afterward, or we would have made preparations for All Grocers’' Supplies.

But the great green seas broke over almost continuously, and each one threat- ened to carry her under. About half an hour afterward when I was amid- ships in the gangway I heard a great rumbling, which, I suppose, must have been the explosion of the boil- ers, for immediately afterward the stern of the vessel sank under, I ran forward and began to cutaway the lashings on one of the gangway ladders, but before I could cut away the second lashing the vessel went down, and it seemed a long while af— terward before I rose to the surface. I swam as best I could against th mighty seas, each one taking my breuth away, and it must have been three-quarters of an hour that I was tossed about in this way before I caught hold of any wr akage. Then I caught one of the spars. This helped to buoy me up, for I was nearly ex hausted, but as it was tossed from oue sea to another it would roll from un- der me, and then I had hard work to catch it again. Assoon as daylight broke I saw a bark in the distance, which was heading in the direction of where I was, but she soon changed her course and went out of sight. After floating about for two hours or more, 1 let go of the spar and caught hold of a piece of the gangway of the vessei upon which was Gaudriose Bikner, the porter, and one of those who left the shipin the captain’sboat. Almost the first thing Bikner said was, ‘It’s no use trying to save our- selves; we might as well drown now as any time.” I replied: ‘I know, but let’s hang as long as we can, and die together it we must.” The text in- stant Bikner was washed off by a sea. I called to him and asked if he was alive. He anawered that he was, and then disappeared. I saw no more of him. A litt'e while after this I saw right near me the ico-box of the ves— sel, a box nbout twelve teet wide and five feet square on the ends. I swam to it, anu found it comparatively comfortable. I was completely ox- hausted, but was nlrniJ to remove my clothing. But I took oft my heavy boots and threw them away. I was almost frozen, too, it was socold. Afier being on my new raft an hour orso I saw three pilot-biscuits float— ing near and picked them up. As they were saturated I put them inside ot my shirts and next to my body to dry. Soon afterward a heavy ‘sca, which came near sweeping me over- board, carried away two of my crack ers and to save the other I ate it up. I laid down on my raft and dropped asleep. When I awoke I saw a ves- sel in the distance, about two miles off, and I took off my ‘jumper’ and waved it as a signal. As she headed toward me my heart leaped with joy I thought I would soon 'be rescued; but the vessel -oon afterward disap- perred and I was again left in de- spair, ‘‘As night came on I opened the two doors of the ice-box and lay down on them. As the sea had moderated the water washed under them, and I was as comfortable as auy one could have been under the circumstances, I went to sleep and slept soundly, but when I woke I thought my limbs were paralyzed. But I got on my feet and Jjumped up and down and was soon all right again, I then had a craying thirst, and could only satisfy it with salt water, which tended to increase my thirst, The esecond day passed without incident, as did also the third day, beyond seeing a vessel on each day, which T was unable to signal. Oun the luurl{: day it was stormy with # ha d rain, but this was welcome for I caught quantities of rain water in my oil cloth coat and drank it, I tell you it tasted good, The fifth day was pleasant, but fearfully cold, Baw another sailing vessel but could not attract her attention. I did not suffer in the leastfrom hunger; in fact I had no cravings for food. What T wanted was water. On the sixth day I saw the brigantine Pear] and succeeded in making her crew see my signal and she bore down for me.” When she got near me a boat was lowered and I was picked up, Assoon as I touched 1.E OMAHA DAILY REE FRI DAY, MARCH 3 18b.. the dock I madea rush ior the ‘scut- tle-butt’ and began to drink, After 1 had drank a quart or more the Stew- ard stopped mo and furnished me with a gallon or o of coffee, which I rel ished. Tt was tha bestcoffeo 1 ever drank. Then the captain got mosome food and the sailors furnithed me with dry clothes aud I was treated like a nabob. And here I am. 1 wish T had that ice-box just for a rel- ic. As soon as the Pearl touched the whart in Brooklyn a representative of Outerbridge & Co , agents of the Ba- hama, met Mathurin and offered him overything that he desired for hiscom- fort. He was taken to the agents' office, where he said that he wanted employment as soon as possible. Out. erbridge & Co. sent word to Mathur. in's family in Quebec of his safety.

Tt is truly astonishing that men thus braz- enly advertising their shame can re. tain any measure of public contidence and support; yet the same anomaly is seen in all professions, thelaw, med- icine and the ministry, Edward Ever- ette Halo said impressively and well at the funeral of Dela:o A, Goddard, late editor of The boston Advertiser, that his ‘‘was the function which, of all functions which modern socicty has created, is the most important, a ” Vit 47101 A L ’ ond verso commences, ‘Then tender flakes drift slowly down,” and for the rhyme you take, ‘The earth so bare and brown.' A beautiful idea!" 1 think 80, returned the fair girl, showing her dimplos. I was going to put something about ‘frown’ or ‘town’ but I like tho sentiment of ‘brown’ best. Don't you!” ‘‘By all means.” agreed the editor. “Ana it’s much more fashionable this winter. We used to get some ‘towns’ and now and then a ‘frown,’ but they are out of date now. The third verse describes ‘The merry, laughing, rosy boys,” with their sleds, and works in with the ‘Ne'er forgotten fireside joys,' I think.” “‘It does,"” she replied, referring to her manuscript, “and it speaks of ‘Bright eyed, blushing, smiling girls,’ which naturally gave rise to ‘Dimpled checks and sunny curls.’ 1 think that idea is quite lofty,” and her ra- diant face took on a tint of sweet anx- ioty na she looked for an indorsement of her opinion, “Couldn't get along without it,” assertod the editor. *‘That is the keynote.

That's poetry, I mean the regular legallypop! How does No 4 commence?” “Ob, 1 know what you mean, “The gracetul skaters smoothly glide, " ““That's it!" said the managing edi- tor, ‘‘and that makes room for ‘The merry children so'tly slide.’ That's itt" ““The first line is right; but T don't think the second is,” she argued, with an enchanting shade of doubt in her face. “Oh! yes, it is,” insisted the city editor. “You look at the poem and sce.” function which may be prostituted to the very worst and may bo elevated to the very best.” Happily the profes- sion of journalism is rallying to its service men true, loyal and bround who have come to stay. What their ideal has become and something of the ditfi culties which hedge them about have becn sympathetically portrayed by Rev. Mr. Fote, pastor of the late Editor Goddard:— Think for a moment what itis which is demanded of him who stands in such a post of duty. Like the pilot his hand always on the helm, he watches the atmospheric current of opinion and feeling, and the tides of events, as they affect the public good. An unresting fidelity holds him con- staut_to the most exacting form of professional duty, with little respite for health and none for pleasure. It is for him to guard against the schemers who seek to gain the public ear, to protect the ignorant and the innocent, to lift. journalism from the function of a mere gatherer of news which tends to make the world a vast whispering gallery in which the mon- strous and distorted echoes of count- less matters which had best slcep m oblivion reverberate, to that of a wise and just organ of public opinion, giv- ing clearness and balance to the gene- ral mind on the one hand, and on the other, speaking the general mind of the wuiggliust part of the community with a force and character that make it heard and heeded in the councils of the nation. To do such a work at all demands rare gifts of intellect and culture, of courage aud tact. To do 1t worthily demands how much of truth and of wisdom, bravery to fight a wrong, insight to see the path of practicable duty, gentleness in deal- g with opponents, magnanimity in judging motives, the absolute elimi- nation of personal and selfish consid- erations; above all, a self-abnegation, —a merging of self in the truth and which 18 the very spirit of the disci- ple of him who 1s truth itself, who hath eaid, *‘He that looseth his life for my sake shall find it.” * * * Mr, Goddard had the highest 1deal of his duty in that place, and day by day he put that ideal into the drudgery of a most wearing toil. 1t was said by a noble and true man, a sou of this old chucch—I mean Saumuel J. May— that the custom of giving ‘‘a charge” to young men entering the minstry ought to be extended to other callings also, and to none more than to that of the editor; a charge to avoid the temptations of time-serving and self- seeking, of cowardice and dishonesty, to be true to duty, to use the great opportunity of influence in behalf of the oppressed and the forsaken against all injustice and wrong. 1 have often thought that such a charge as this our friend heard in the depths of his own conscience, and, as he heard, obeyed, with as loyal a consecration as any knight of old when he buckled on his armor.
