BLOOMSBURY, Pa. Feb. n, 1877.
The approaching end of the absorbing Molly Ma

at this place for the past two weeks, gives rise to
much speculation as to the probable fate of tho trio
who have been trial all that time for the murder OF
Alexander Rea. In the event OF Hester being dealt
lightly WITH the popular query is what will DO done

the hungry survivors cut up the bodies and divided
between them the hearts and brains. The other
parts were found to be too offensive even for canni
balls and the odor from the bodies could only be en-
dured while the ready knife ripped them open and
cut from them the hearts, or while the ships Ratchet
broke In the skulls in order that the brains might
be extracted.
But so MURDER.
Notwithstanding the horrors OF their situation
and the awful lengths to which they were forced to
go to preserve lie, no violence was offered 70 any
of the living The cannibas from necessity did not
murder their companions, but waited with patience
until they died.
FOR THIRrY-Two DAYS.
For thirty-two days after the date OF the FIRST
disaster this fearful tragedy progressing in the
mid-Atlantic and the number OF the crew OF the
Maria grew smaller and smaller until only two re.
mained out OF fourteen.
These were rescued on the 18th December, 1876,
IN latitude 81 deg. % min. and longitude 32 deg.
80 min. by the schooner F. f. Macdonald, Captain
Africa. BY mere accident Captain Kane fell In with
the wreck and took the two survivors on board his
vessel. One OF them, however, died In four hours
after he was taken from the wreck.
THE ONLY SURVIVOR
The solitary survivor OF that awful voyage Is
James NJ. Linden, seaman, of Belfast, Ireland. lie
alone was left to tell the terrible story of his dead
shipmates.
A PARALLEL. CASE.
Since the loss OF the ship Margaret Tyson, which
occurred in the Atlantic Ocean several years ago,
and in which all but one man persisted, we have not
had such melancholy disaster to record. The sur.
vivor from the Margaret Tyson was picked up from
a piece OF wreck after having been on it fourteen
days. but he was very retcent about the fate OF his
shipmates, some thirty in number. He said enough,
however, to show that they had been killed ana
eaten--the strong devouring the weak, TO be de.
voured in turn by the strongest.
