A Horrible Tale of Suffering.
NEw YORK. Feb. II

NEW YORK. Feb. II.
The schooner Speedwell, from Cadiz,
arrived to-day with the Captain and
crew of the schooner Sallie Nj. Steel
man, from Charleston for Baltimore,
which was abandoned at sea. The Cap
tain makes the following statement:
"On Jan. 20, twenty miles southeast
of Hatteras, we encountered terrific
gale, lasting seventy hours, which
washed everything movable from the
deck and used our last provisions. On
the morning of Jan. %, during heavy
gale, we sprung leak. On the 9th
three of the crew gave out, leaving only
four to manage the vessel and pumps,
and we were fast becoming exhausted.
On the 30th George Seaman (colored), ,
who had become crazy, attempted to
take the life of Walter Sampson, but
was instantly killed by the latter, who,
during the afternoon, ate portion of
his body. On the S1st we were rescued. y"
Before leaving the schooner the crew
became so crazed with hunger that it
was suggested that they would be
obliged to cast lots for one of the num-
Der to furnish food to keep the others
alive. For eight days nothing passed
their lips except fresh water and to-
baccO, which appeased their hunger
only slightly. Finally one of the sail
ors was killed in a quarrel, when his
body was cut up, the upper part was
thrown overheard, and the limbs were
salted down for food. From the thigh
steaks were cut, almost before the flesh
was cold, and broiled. They were
eaten with relish by the starving men
The crew consisted of the Captain
mate, cook and four seamen, three OF
the latter cOlored.

NEW URLEANs, Fed. D.
The defense closed in the Anderson
trial, to-day, with some rebutting testi-
meny. Asst.-Atty Gen. Egan and Dist
Atty. Fanney spoke for the prosecution.
They claimed that the charge of utter
ing and publishing a forged document
had been proved. Judges Ray and
Cullom, for the defense, held that the
consolidated statement was not a public
document and therefore the charge
could not be substantiated.

ter to induce Congress to grant this girl
a pension. She has been in the Gov

reality cared for the light long before
her fathers death, ten years ago, though

many persons that such brave service
and bravery as hers should have some
public recognition. Her last rescue
was of United States soldiers, who were
attempting to reach Fort Adams in a
