A TERRIBLE TALE OF SHIPwRECK AND
CANNIBALIsM.-Capt. Higbce and crew of
the schooner Sallie NJ. Steelman. from
Charleston for Baltimore, abandoned in a
sinking condition January 81, arrived at
New York Monday, on the schooner Speed
well from Cadiz, after terrible expert
ence. On the goth of January, 20 miles
southeast from Hatteras. the vessel en-
countered terrific gale, lasting 20 hours,
during which the sails were split and
everything movable was washed from the
decks. The crew used their last provisions
on the morning of January %. On the
night of the 24th. during heavy gale, the
vessel sprung leak, and on the 9th three
of the crew gave out. leaving only four to
manage the vessel and pumps, and they
were fast becoming exhausted. On the
30th George Seamen (coloredD, who had
become crazy, attempted the life of Walter
Sampson, but was instantly killed by the
latter who during the afternoon ate a por-
ton of his dead body. Next day the crew
were rescued by the schooner Speedwell.
This is the captains story. Another ac-
count says the crew of the Steelman, be-
fore leaving the schooner, had become so
crazed with hunger that it was suggested
that they would be obliged to cast lots for
one of their number to furnish food to
keep the others alive. Their last mouth
full of provisions was consumed on the
morning of January 90, and for eight days
thereafter nothing passed their lips except
fresh water and tobacco, which appeased
their hunger only slightly. Finally one of
the sailors was killed in a quarrel, when
his body was cut up. the upper part was
thrown overheard and the limbs we're salt
ed down for food. From the thigh steaks
were cut. almost before the flesh was cold,
and broiled. These were eaten with rel
ish by the starving men. Next day they
were rescued.
