Brutal Pugs-Quick Work.


SAN FRANCISCO, May THE crew
Of the schooner Edward E. Webster,
which arrived Friday from Glouces-
ter, Mass, give pitiful tale Of hard
ships. The schooner left Monte Video
116 days ago. While lowering around
Cape Horn for six weeks their meat
became spoiled and had to be thrown
overheard. About the 1st Of April
several of the crew began to lose the
use of their legs and could not work
on deck. On the 18th seaman named
Edward Fitzgerald was taken sick and
the 28th died. Long before his death
everything in the shape of provisions
had given out, except -four, and to
make matters worse this last turned
musty. Meanwhile the crew were at
tackled with new complaint, which
is said here to be Asiatic rheumatism.
When only few days from San
Francisco they spoke an English boat,
who gave them some potatoes and
other vegetables, which were eagerly
welcomed by the nearly famished and
almost helpless crew. She put in here
for repairs and to get a supply of pro-
visions, and it is expected that she
will leave Tuesday for Cape Flattery.
