MARTYRS OF THE REVOLUTIONS
The story of the Burned Prison Ships
Recalled.

NEW York, March 27.-The resolution
now pending in Congress looking tothe erec-
tion of monument to the memory of the
martyrs of the British prison ships In Wall
about Bay during the Revolutionary War"
has awakened much interest among the
younger generation, and many inquiries have
been made at the NavyYard recently to have
the place where those prison ships were
berthed pointed out A couple Of years ago,
when an excavation for a new sewer was be-
ing made in the Navy Yard, large number
of bones were thrown up by the workmen.
The bones were broken and disJointed, but
the skulls, more than hundred In all, were
found entire and well preserved. They were
all found together in nearly the same spot,
heaped together as though the excavation
had crossed one of the trenches, and lay be-
meath a clayey subsOil in q stratum OF beach
sand that probably formed the beach during
the period of the Revolution.
The finding Of these bones was the sequel
to one of the most horrible and barbarous
crimes that were ever practised in civilized
age and in a civilized country, and which be-
gan shortly after the capture Of New York
by the British and did not entirely cease TILL
the close of the war The British prison
ships. some half-dozen in all, were anchored
off the mouth of the Wallabout Bay. They
were dismantled and lay there mere hulks,
their holds crowded to suffocation with pris-
oners, most of them being from American
espeeiaily bitter and cruel. The two most
noted Of these vessels were the Whitney and
the Jersey, and the brutal. barbarous treat,
ment of the prisoners upon them was equal
to, II not worse, than that practlced upon tne
Federal soldiers in the Rebel prisons az An
dersonyille and Richmond and excited gen.
eral execratiOn.
The prisoners were half-starved, and the
sanitary condition of the ships was SO vie
with the foul air and filth that contagious dl,
seases were contracted and the wretched and
Sick men, being without medical aid, died by
scores daily. The bodies of the victims
were taken to the shore and thrown into has
tily dug trenches with so slight covering
over them that it soon washed away and lett
the bodies exposed. The number Of deaths
from improper treatment on these ships was
said to be II 900, but this is thought to have
been low estimate.
