THE BODY OF THE SALATHIEL'S BOY
FOUND : THE CAPTAIN CENSURED
BY THE JURY.
On Friday afternoon, about half-past two, • labourer
awed Frederick Worden was riding on a waggon at
the Breakwater, when he s-w • body floatiog about three
yards from the mast of the sunken schooner Salatbiel.
It afterwards washed upon the rocks, and Worden with
his mates went down, and brought it to Castletown in •
boat. When the holy was brought on shore, Sergeant
Freeman was sent for, and came at once. When landed
the sergeant said some one must strip it; but a man
standing by (not a Portland man) first put the question
who was to pay for that' The sergeant promptly ad
if none would do it, he would bitself, which ho did
without further ado,
n inquest was held on Satnrday morning, at the
Royal Breakwater Hotel, Castletown, before R. N.
Howsrd, req.. and a highly respectable jury, of whom
A
Ige. Maxey was chosen foreman.
The Coroner said they ha met to enquire Into the Immo-
diste canoe of the death of James Jones, and also whether
it had been brought about by anyone. There had ben
some discussion on the matter. and;setne question as to
whether Cie msster of Salathiel waa Justified in leaving
bin vessel in the charge 01 a boy, His haring done so
might be right or wrong. it might be reprehensible on
the captain a part—and they might make any remarks
they chose, but that could not affect their verdict, for
the cause of death would be too remote to bring it
home to the captain. For instance, supposing a man
left a child 1, a cart, and sometime after the horse was
frightened and toe child was killed, they could not
bring in their verdict that it was caused by any neglect,
but if the wan had himself been driving, and did not
use Proper care, they might return a different verdict.
They might soy anything to the captain, put any guess
tbin to bim, or caution him, but it could not form part
of the verdict. In conohtsian lie expressed his pleavare
that he had such AO intelligent jury to Investigate this
ame.

Mr. A. &riven said that, as an old shipmaster, it wag
very painful to him to hear of such • case, that • child
alould be lost in such a manner, and that the Captain
should have been so reckless as not to have told the
boy to give out more chain if it came on to blow harder.
It appeared the Captain left the ship in this manner
with no other object but to get only two loaves of bread
anti some beer!
The Captain said be bought also • shoulder of mutton

left the mate on board, it would have been more
judicious.

, one would have been in favour of returning • verdict of
manslaughter.
The Coroner said he thoroughly and entirely con-
curred with what the foreman had expressed on Lieber!
of the jury with reference to the captain's conduct.
He only wished he could use stronger language than
what he was g nog to use, to express his idea of the
conduct of wind' he believed the captain had been
I guilty. His conduct in leaving the vessel in the charge
of the little boy who was lost, and remaining in Portland
somany hours while only that child was on board—the
state he was in, in trying to go off at eleven o'clock at
night, and not making any effort to obtain a orew who
would have gone off to the vessel without him—that
conduct was very bad indeed—(hear). When a captain
was put in his place of trust, the lives of the crew were
to a certain extent pieced is his hands, and it depended
upon the captain's judgment, subject to the contin-
gencies of the weather, if the,.., lives were preserved.
That trust, in the otinion of the jury, had not been ful-
filled, and Indirectly he had caused the logs a human
life -(hear, hear). Heinen life was • awed thing, and
when he thought it the future that his conduct had
caused human life to he sacrificed, be would take •
warning that should influence all his future conduct.
The jury hoped that such a thing would never happen
agiun, and that the captain would prove himself IA the
future worthy of being reckoned as a It Wall sailor, and
worthy to be entrusted with the charge of • emai-
