MURDER AT SEA.
Strange Tale of Cook Of the
British Bark Veronica.
One Of Five Survivors Picked Up
Charges Others With Murder.
Captain and Seven Men Killed and the
Vessel Burned.

| Liverpool, Jan. 29-The British
steamer Brunswick, Capt. Brown, from
Maranham. Brazil. VS.. Funchal, island
| of Madeira. arrived here, Thursday,
and landed five survivors of the Brit
ism bark Veronica, Capt. Shaw, from
Ship island. Mississippi, for Montevido,
| who were picked uD at sea by the
Brunswick before arriving at Funcha.
The men reported that the Veronica
was burned at sea, Dec. 20, but the po-
llice have detained, four of them on
suspicion of having mutinied and muir
| cered Capt. Shaw and seven of the
crew of the Veronica after which they
are alleged TO have set fire to the ship.
The cook of the Veronica, Il colored
man. who was among those rescued by
the Brunswick. made a statement to
Capt. Brown which caused him to
cable to Scotland Yard.
When questioned here the four sea-
men said that the Veronica was aban-
doned because she Was on fire. They
added that the chief officer and a sea-
man died on board of her, that Capt.
Shaw and some Of the crew left in ono
beat. and that they tthe men brought
here by the Brunswick left the bark
in another boat and succeeded in reach-
ing Caju1ia island Dec. o. in a starv-
ing condition, after drifting for five
days. during which they subsisted on
IL biscuits and small barrel of wa
ter. Three days later the men were
picked up by the Brunswick.
The cook. however, asserts that the
men led by the boastwain, a German,
mutinied and Murdered the captain,
chief officer and others and threatened
to kill him if he betrayed them.
Three of the men in custody are
Germans. The fourth is an American,
VIM. Smith. who shipped at a Missis-
sippi port.
After an investigation, the four seamcn
of the Veronica were formally charged
with numbering seven of their shipmates
According 10 the account of the nutiny
given by the Veronica S negro cook. whose
name is Moses Thomas, the murders were
of defending themselves. Each was
stunned or murdered separately by the
mutineerS. who lay in wait for them in a
dark part of the snip armed with beiy-
ing pms The bodies We're then thrown
overheard. Thomas says he baTricaded
himself and besSeG hard for mercy or ne.
would have suffered the same fate.
