Cannibalism.

st. Johns. N F., April 29.-The French
fishing vessel, Valiant. Captain Pierra,
bound from St. Malo for MiqueloR.
struck an iceberg on the Grand banks
on the 10th inst. and almost Immediate
ly foundered. She had seventy-three |
fishermen on board and all took to the |
boats. Only one of those boats has
thus far been heard from. 1t had OH
board seven men. Three perished from
exposure. The bodies of the first two
were thrown overheard. but the sur
vivors In their desperation were given
TO cannibalism and ate the third. The
survivors are so badly frost bitten that
their arms must be amputated. II is
certain only that one boat escaped the
whirlpool caused by the sinking of the
origantne. The three other dories may
have gone down or they may now be

With such haste did the sailors escape

only had they no clothing with them.
but they were unable TO secure water
and food and in the morning the sew
en- men in one of the boats found them
| selves ahoat with nothing aboard with
which 10 sustain life. The three other
boats are believed TO have contained
about twenty men, and such as were
left on board the Valiant perished
| quickly As events proved theirs was
the better fate. The weather was bit
ting cold and icy spray fell over the
men On the second night two OF the
men died from exposure and their bod
les were thrown overheard. Next
morning a young man. Felix, died and
he, too, would have been given to the
fishes If his companions had had
strength enough to lift the body. On
the fifth day, crazed beyond doubt
they adopted the frightful resort o!

after that.
1t was on the twelfth day of theil
