To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Str: An

In me deep interest IN behalf OF the poor fellow
who was rescued by the pilot boat; and has re.
vived In my mind the story OF another uniortu-

officers OF the same bark from which tho sailor
above referred to sought to escape by throwing
himself into the sea.

on the g7th OF May the British Consul came

Frank Birds case. Such unmitigated lying as
they INDUCED IN 1 never listened to in my life.
They not only ontradicted the poor seaman at
every point, but they even swore In concert that
he was In debt to the vessel. The Consul seemed
to side with the officers, but here he required
proof Of their assertion In regard to the N oney

bark was allowed to sail, and on the way out,
