Men Barely Alive.

Carrabele, Fla, Feb. IA boat con-
tanning five corpses and six men barely
alive drifted ashore. When discovered
by two fishermen the survivors were
lying unconscious OH the decomposed
corpses of their companions. The sur
vivors were revived and Gilbert Holmes,
who was strongest, related story Of
awful suffering. Last week the eleven
men left Key West Oh a smack to fish
on the west coast. When two days out
the smack was wrecked, the men es.

clothil Three days after the wreck
Frank Mason died and soon after Max
Thornton, Alfred Stafford, Joe West and
Nathan Adams succumbed. The sur
vivors were too weak to throw their
dead comrades into the sea and the
corpses remained in the boat. For the
last two days Holmes was the only one
of the living conscious and he does not
remember all that happened.
The scene in the boat was horrible.
The living and the dead, without a "a g
of clothes, were tumbled together. The
corpses seemed to be gnawed in places,
and the fishermen suggested that in des-
peration the survivors tried to sustain
life on the flesh of their dead compan-

been rendered idiotic by their sufferings.

Time.
San Francisco. Cal. Feb. ID. Paris
Leclaire late procueur and prosecuting
officer of the French government at Pa
peita Tahiti. brings news of serious
skirmish which took place between the
French forces and the natives of Raiotea
before he left the islands early in Janu-
airy. The natives rebelled against French
rule and the British flags were raised in
the principal villages.
Leclaire says a French ironclad pro-
ceeded to the scene of the insurrection
and bombarded both villages. No troops
were landed but there was considerable
firing from the ship. Guns were brought
to bear on the flag masts from which
the British flags were flying, and flags
and poles were leveled to the ground.
There was no disposition to spill blood
or harm the natives in the slightest, so
no shells were thrown. The f1agpoles
were brought down with solid shot.
When this had been accomplished the
war vessel returned to Tahiti.
