Ink or paper, On the accusation that he
was spy. Being thus utterly without
means OF making his case known, he con-
frlved another way of communicating
with the external world One account
has it that he concealed penciied note
IN loaf of bread which fell into the
hands OF the British consul: another
states that he wrote with piece of char
coal on ship biscuit and sent it to the
captain of British man of-war that was
lying OF the island, and who with much
difficulty, and after being imprisoned
himself, effected the release of Glass. The
latter, on being joined by his wife and
daughter, who had come in search of
him, set sail for England in 1866, on
board the merchant brig Earl Of Sand
wich, Captain Cochrane.
LGlass doubtless supposed his troubles
were now over; but the knoledge that
much OF his property and great amount
OF specie, one hundred thousand pounds,
belonging to others, was on board, in
duced tour of the crew to form conspir-
acY to muder every one else and seize the
ship. These mutineers were respectively
George Gidley, the cook, native of the
west of England; Petera McKulie, an
lrlshman; Andrew Zekerman, Holland
er; and Richard H. Quintn, a Londoner.
On three different nights they are stated
to have made the attempt, but were baf-
He'd by the vigilence of Captain Glass,
rather than that Of his counuyman Cap
tain Cochrane, but at eleven o'clock at
night on the 3Oth of November, 1865. it
CHANGED as shown at their Trial, that
these four miscreants had together the
watch on deck, when the Sandwich was
already in sight of the coast OF Ireland;
ana When Cochrane, after taking a sur
vey aloft, was about to return to the
cabin, Peter kulie Drained him with ian
iron bar" probably a martin spike, and
threw him overheard.
A Cry that had escaped Cochrane alarm
ed the rest of the crew, who were all dis
patched IN the same manner as they rush
ed on deck in succession. This slaughter
and the din it occasioneel, reused Captain
Glass, who was below In beu; but he soon
discovered what was occurring, and after
giving one glance On deck, rushed away
to get his sword. M'Kulie imagining
the cause of his going back, went down
the steps leading to the cabin, and stood
IN the dark expecting Glass return ana
suddenly seized his arms from behind
but the Captain being man of great
strength, wrenched his sword arm free,
and on being assailed by the other three
assassins, plunged his weapon into the
arm OF Zekerman, when the blade became
wedged or entangled. 1t was at length
wrenched forth, and Glass was slain by
repeated stabs of his own weapon, while
his dying cries were heard by his wife
and daughter-two unhappy beings who
were ruthlessly thrown overheard and
drowned.
Besides these four victims, James
Plncent, the mate, and three others lost
their lives. The mutineers now loaues
one OF the boats with the money, chests,
and so forth, and then scuttled the Sand
Wich, and landed at Ross on the coast OF
Ireland. But suspicion speedily attached
to them; they were apprehended; and
confessing the crimes Of which they had
been guilty, were tried before the Court
OF Kings Bench, Dublin, and sentenced
to death. They were accordingly execut-
ed in st. Stephens Green, on the 10th of
October, 1765.
