A Story orCannihaIism at Sea.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 25.-Carl Graves, fire
man, and Ludwig Loder, seaman, sur
vivOrs of the steamship Earnmoor, told
last night story, horrible in its details, of
the way they sustained life by cannibalism
for days. Loder said:
The only food we had the first fifteen days in
the boat was flying fish and few raw small sea
birds, divided among eleven men. On the six
t5enth day William Davis. seaman, caught me
10y the throat, ana made Il dash at my head with
= knife. He cut me on the right cheek, the scar
from which still remains, Us you see. He was
t0ld to kill me by August Plagge, fireman
When Davis began 10 cut me some of my com
p&nions caught him, but others shouted, XIII
him. kill him. We want something TO eat, we
are starving"
IL seems mat Plagge, Davis and others in one
end of the boat had decided that l should die,
IS I suppose being pretty fat, 4 looked inviting
flagge was placed on watch that night. but he
Egas missing next morning. No one saw him 90
overheard. On the twentieth day William
Robinson lay down 10 sleep. When they tried 10
call him they found him dead, and ii was deter
mined 10 eat his flesh, and William Wright,
cook, was ordered to carve the body. The first
thing done was to smash in RObinson'S skull and
grOm the fracture each one sucked blood as long
u il would last which was but a little while;
then the cook stripped the flesh from the ribs.
next day this flesh, in strips, was placed Oh the
in the sun. After taking out Robin
sons liver. heart and other parts which
would furnish blood to be sucked they threw his
fnutnated body into the sea. Two days after
RobinSOn's death, Third Engineer Thomas Hunt
died His body was also cut up for food. In
about three days the limbs and feet of all began
20 swell, and several have broken out in ugly
sores. We think it is poison from the human
Bcsh and l1Col.
Both Graves and Loder say they have no rec
OilectiCn ftho taste Of human flesh so great was
their mental anguish at the time. Their only
recollection Of taking food is feeling their own
blood quicken as it coursed their veins.

Lovely tints in the wrong place are reft
of their charm. A lemon colored counte-
nance-the peculiar endowment Of our pig
tailed brethren who ''hlt the pipe''-is I'M
becoming. 1t suggests bile going astray,
and the Inference is correct. Pain beneath
the ribs and shoulder blades, constipation,
dyspepsia, furred tongue and sick head
aches supplement this indication of the bill
ious. For liver complaint and its multifar-
ious systems, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
is an infallible specific. 1t relaxes the
bowels sufficiently, but without gripping or
violence. TO the secretion of bile it gives
a due impulse, but banishes an excess of
that saffron colored principle from the
blood Sick headaches, sourness of the
breath and fur upon the tongue disappear
when it is used. 1t renews digestion, forti-
fies the system against malaria, counter
acts rheumatic tendency, and remedies
inaction of the kidneys.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch. !
NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-Ward McAllister,
It NAV interest his California friends to
learn, intends to give very large private
subscription ball on the night of the I'd Of
January 1t will be known as a New Years
bail Peculiar interest is given to the
fact because the ball may be given in the
Stewart mansion, at Thirty fourth street
and Fifth avenue. Judge Hilton has Of
fered McAllister the house for that pur-
pose at price no larger than is demanded
Tor the Metropolitan opera house The en-
tertainment will undoubtedly draw very
large crowd, because of the curiosity of
people to see and dance in the art gallery.
The objection seems to be that great deal
of preparation will be necessary, as dane
ing floor will have to be laid over the
marble floor of the picture gallery; fires
win have to be started week or two
ahead of the entertainment and the man
sion put through a course Of cleaning and
busting at the expense of Mr.. McAllister
and his associates. Another point is that
MIR. McAllister presumably is giving this
large ball, at which it is expected Il thou
sand people will be present, to teach Stuy
Vesant Fish and Elbridge Gerry exactly
now to give entertainments of that kind
successfully, and the place for the lesson
would naturally be the Metropolitan opera
house. where Messrs. Fish, Gerry &
B owen met with their centennial failure.
The choice between the opera house and
she Stewart house will, of course, very
shortly be made.
Lady Shrewsbury, mother of the present
Earl of Shrewsbury Of Alton Towers, and
Lady Sellzirk, who have been doing Cali
fornia, writing to friends In town express
the greatest delight over their experiences
on the Pacific coast and declare that of the
hotels that at Monterey is one of the finest
hotels they have seen in Europe or Amer
lea.
