the quarter rail, the captain succeeded in
throwing him over, although il it is said he
was three times as strong as the captain.
He fell into the sea, after which he was
heard to call to captain Garland, beg his
pardon, and ask to be taken on board.
The vessel going 9 knots, the wretched
murderer sunk into the deap. Capt. Gar
land, as soon as Smith was overheard,
tainted and fell. His two men were byI
him in the last file and would render
him no assistance. The mate died i'm
mediataly of his wounds his bowels be-
ing dreadfully cut. He was committed to|
the deep by the pilots, the day following.
Captain Garland remained lying on the
deck in his shirt until he was boarded by|
the pilots, at half past nine. next morning
The bleeding of his wounds was stopped
with ashes. On the pilots going on board
they had these particulars from Captain
Garland, who asked them to take him to
the nearest port; they told him Lewis
town was the nearest, 25 miles distant
|but it was an open roadstead. He then
requested them to take him to Lewistown,
and go to Philadelphia with the schooner
and call on US for assistance, or consign
|the vessel to US. Captain Garland sus-
|pected the two men to be accessory to the
mutiny, as they would not assist him when
he was nearly overpowered by Smith. He,
however, to save his own life, after the
mate was killed and Smith overheard, used
mild language to them, making them be.
|lieve that he thought they had been faith
|ful to him. After Captain Garland had
got on shore and had his wounds dressed,
(which took three hours, and he felt better,
|he regretted that he had sent the schooner
to the city. observing that he thought he
should be well enough in ten days to 60
on. He therefore agreed with the captain
of the pilot boat to follow and overtake
the schooner, and request the pilots to
bring her back, and for them to secure the
two men. Before the boat overlook her
she had got far towards the city, and as
they had no way of securing the men, if
they went back, they concluded TO pro-
coed on their arrival here yesterday af-
Iternoon, their first care was to secure the
two men. A message was sent to US re-
lquesting our care. Not knowing but the
men required our care also, we touk our
attorney with US, and the two men were
committed to jail. Thernames are Charles
FarnsWorth and Joseph HASKELL.
