Discovery OF IA Deserted SHIP at sea.
Nrw loax, March e.-A story comes
from G,bralter that on the 18Th Of De-
ccnber last the Dl G,Utia came upon
.hc Nary TRIESTE, an American brtan-
tine. She was first seen by the D,I
T,U';n II latitude 3S north and latitude
II west, abandoned by the crew about
three weeks previously, as shown BIZ
log, and since that time she had lriftel
without IL living being on board. The
cause of abandonment is IL complete
mystery. as the brigantino was sound
i'll every particular, and effects were
found on her Of considerable value.
which, had she been boarded by pirates,
would undoubtedly have been taken.
The articles remaining seem to show
the presence of II lady and children on
the ship. One thing found may furnish
a clue to the mystery. 1t is Il sh,a,hel
sword blade, which looks as if it had
been stained with blood and washed:
gallant-sails; the bows OF the vessel
have been cut off, as if Intentionally,
with some sharp instrument. All con
lectures with regard to the true cause
of abandonment are likely to be futile,
but the probable hypothe SIS is that for
some reason the crew revolted and took
to Aie,'... frying away with them
nothing which might lead to their ar
rest and conviction.
