attempted TO commit the crime were not hung
up al the yard arm, but brought home IN

America. The captain states, tina, on the
i7th ut.. while at sea. a seaman named Dix

been solicited TO join III conspiracy TO take
possession OF the schooner. murder The cap

and Ricardo were the conspiratore, and in
tended 10 carry their plan into operation the
same night. The captain told Dixon that he
supposed the men were only funning him,
but DlNon was SO serious. appeared so much
alarmed, that the captain sent for the mate
and told him what Dixon had reported. The
mate SAID Dixon had better go TO his DUTY
and keep sharp look out on The other two.
The mate then called the captains attention
10 a circumstance which had happened about
a fortnight previous, and which appeared TO
confirm the story of Dixon.
On the 5th OF November, the captain and
mate were sIezed with violent vomiting inn
mediately after supper. and on examining the
coffee pot some white grounds appeared
which looked like arsenic. The cook was
questlone !, and he admitted that Bennett had
borrowed the captains coffee pot a short time
before supper that night. Ca recalling this
fact, the captain and mate armed themselves
with pistols and went down into the forecas-
tie; Bennett and Dixon being below, and the
cook and the other two seamen, compl isine
the crew. on deck. The male then told the
the two pirates 10 deliver up their arms,
when they denied having any. on which they
were both pinoned, after short struggle,
removed TO the deck, and then chained
together.
This done, the forecastle was searched, and
pistol found, loaded very heavily and the
printing quite fresh, hid up in the berth place
Of Ricardo. In the JACKIE, of Bennett knife
and quantity Of heavy buck shot were
found. The knife was ground 10 n point,
with two sharp edges, quite different from
the knife usually worn bv seamen. After
this discovery, the captain determined TO
bring them home for trial, although he had
but two hands 10 work his vessel, and in case
Of their turning cross OF feeling inclined 10

happily succeeded without following the fear
