A Sea Captain Who Threw n Boy OveI
board and Shot Him.

board and Shot Him.
Capt. Sam Smith of the schooner Lou. who
murdered a boy named George Neale on his
sch ooner by throwing the lad overheard and
then shooting him he swan in the water
and who is now under arrest at San Francisco
wanted to make confession. but the officers
would not allow him TO-
Willie Silberry, the boy who escaped Neale's
fate by agreeing to conceal the murder, tells the
following story:
AFTER I turned In I was awakened from
sound sleep by voice crying: Don't shoot me,
Sam; for Gods sake don't kill me- I Was
scared almost to death, but did not cry out.
The voice was that Of George and seemed to
como from under the stern of the boat. Then
1t grew fainter, as though We were drifting
away from it. / crept quickly up the COM
panionwsy and saw Capt. Smith sitting in
the cockpit with bis rife in his hands,
looking over the beam. George called
ont again: Sam, throw me an oar; won't you
help me? God, won't you help me2 Sam
aimed In his hands. / drew back half sick as
he shot and then glanced out again to see him
withdraw his rife, which he had fired into the
water where saw George floating. Sam saw
me then and az unconcerned IA possible l asked
him what he shooting at He answered,
"A bird, and drew down again into the hold.
Pretty soon heard Sam talking, pretending to
be answering George. He said: 'Oh, only q
bird, and NO, missed it,. When daylight
came got up and went and sat near Sam.
knew had my life in my hands. Sam still had
a rife in his hands, and as he looked at me
feared he meditated killing me, too. tried to
smooth it over, and after while he said: I've
been thinking about this for nine days. in
tended to throw you overheard and report that
you went hunting in skiff and got lost in the
surf told him l would do all could, and
maybe George had not been drowned; that We
could report something that would be good
excuse.
1--WE will fix it, I said. He took me at my
word and commenced to clean up In the cabin
were spots Of bloody finger marks on Georges
bunk. These Sam washed of and helped, but
left on the ceiling some blood that he did not
see. There was blood on Sans trousers"
Silberry has evidently passed through a ter
rible experience, but he has innate shrewdness
which stood him well ia hand in the time of
danger. To this and his indomitable nerve he
owes his life. The cause Of the difficulty on
beard the Lou. Silberry says, WAS that the only
rowboat they had aboard broke loose, and the
captain thought the boys cut the rope knowing
that the vessel could not continue the collection
of guano after the loss of it. but would be COM
PEELED to return to land. The loss occurred at
White Rock, along the lower Mexican coast, but
the captain had not recovered from his anger
and when nearly home seized the first opportu-
nifty to pick quarrel with Neale.

their appearance here. but belong to other com
