named Joseph Smith was lying on board the
schooner MayfOwer with his head crushed in a
friehtful manner. The boat lies some 200
yards from the 18th street fish wharf, and it
was ascertained that the injured man is a fish
erman just up from the fishing shores, near
Fort Washington; that last night three white
men went on board his boat and beat him fear
fully. When found this morning his ewes were
projecting from his head, and his body was
mangled and lying in a pool of blood in his
berth, where two of his teeth were also found.
The injured man, whose name is Joseph
smith, was evidently attacke by bur glars, who
II Is thought mistoOk the Mayfiower for the
yacht belonging to the Americas Yacht Club,
and intended TO get the silver plate recently
presented to the club. They broke open the
closets and searched them, leaving Smith sense
less with his head horribly crushed. He was
n of the opinion that the wounds are mortal.

crushing the bone. and the Jaw bone was also

him TO believe who the parties were. and on his
return he gave this information to Lieutenant
Gessford's men, and aided in the arrest of the
three above named parties.
