LONDON, Dec. 3.-The North German
Lloyd steamer Spree, which sailed from
Bremen Nov. % via Southampton for
New York, arrived at Queentown with
her shaft broken. All the passenges ex-
cept one are safe and sound after having
gone throught rather terrifying ex-

down on Nov. 28, and part of the ma
chinery went through her bottom under
the second cabin. Many of the passen-
gers rushed on deck in their night cloth

their arms and husbands half carrying
their wives. A second class passenger
named Paul Kolson was so terribly
frightened that he jumped overheard
and was drowned. The British steamer
Lake Huron picked her up two days later
and towed her into port.

INHuMANITrY AT SEA.
An Apprentice Boy Scrubbed with Sand
and Salt Water.

eAatN SsAS ." otNh'
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 5-Tho Call pub
fishes n sensational story to the effect
that charges of extreme cruelty will
soon be preferred against Commander
Thomas Nelson, of the United Statos
steamship Adams. 1t says that Execu-
tive Officer Adams and Master-at-arms
Heating will also be included in the
charges. 1t is alleged that, acting under
Commander Nelson's orders, Adams and
Keating SO cruelty tortured an appren-
tice boy named August Motzick that he
is dangerously i'll and likely to die,
Motzick, who is small sized Ger
man boy, II years old, shipped as an ap-
prentice on the Adams, prior to her
cruise to Behring sea last spring, from
the Boys and Girls aid society of this
city, where he had good reputation.
After the ship had been in Behring sea
some time, the sailors, it is said, were
denied fresh water for washing purposes,
but this water was allowed to the Chi
nese servants Of the officers, and the Of
ticers received double allowance. The
men were afraid to use salt water for
washing, for fear of scurvy and the gem
eral effect on the health, so they did not
wash at all, and soon were in a filthy
condition and covered with vermin.
Finally Motzick was sent forward by
the sailors as Il committee to ask Captain
Nelson for fresh water. The commander
asked the boy what he wanted water for
and the boy said he wanted it to clean
himself.
Thereupon Nelson ordered Executive
Officer Adams TO take the boy ont and
Grub him. Adams turned the apprentice
over TO the master-at-arms, who, with q
squad Of men, tied the boy down and
scrubbed his back with canvas, sand and
salt water until it bled. They then
drenched him with salt water As re-
suit Of this treatment the boys back was
in terrible condition. Running sores
came on his back and his condition be-
cdme critical.
