ored sailors in irons, the only survivors
of the crew of the Berwind. The cap
tain, the mate, the cook and the engi-
naer were killed, and it is thought their
bodies were thrown overheard. The
body Of a murdered negro sailor was
found on the Berwind's deck, which
was splashed with blood when the
craft was boarded from the King, says
a correspondent of the New York
Press.
The mutiny grew out of the coffee
served at breakfast. 1t was impossi-
BILE to get the prisoners to tell their own
names or the names of the dead. The
Berwind left Mobile on Sept. % for
Philadelphia.
The sailors refused TO touch the cof-
fee. and it is said that an alteration
arose between them and the cook.
Several of the men were asleep, and
there were indications that the mate
was slaughtered in his bunk, which
was stained with blood. Drops OF
blood were found leading from the
mates berth up to the deck and to the
side of the ship. The case was mys-
terious, as the survivors were terrible
in their hate toward each other. The
mutineers were handcuffed as soon as
the boarding party had reached the
deck Of the Berwind. The negroes
were sullen and silent, but all the signs
In the ship went to show that they had
wrought an awful vengeance together.
1t was soon developed, however, that
they were fixed In implacable hatred.
One Of the men complained that the
handouts were cutting into his wrists.
The bracelet was loosened for a mo-
ment, and quick as a fash the man
whipped out a revolver and shot one
Of the other prisoners. The bullet in
flicted an ugly wound, but not mortal
one.
Captain Taylor of the King said that
he sighted the Berwind thirty miles
east Of the Fryingpan lightship. The
Berwind was not holding steady
course, and at one time there was dan
ger of the schooner ramming the King.
Taylor was astounded at the sight Of
the vessel travelling erraticalIy, and he
became suspicious that the crew might
be crippled with yellow fever. He few
a signal, and the Berwind replied with
request for boarders. At once q
boat was lowered, and half a dozen
men climbed up the side Of the Ber-
wind to be astounded at the bloody
sight Of the deck.
1t was clear that a desperate con-
fict had been waged from stem TO
stern Of the ship. The body Of the ne
gro was hacked with. knives, and there
were several deep stabS in the abdo-
men. Apparently the man had fought
until he fell from the loss Of blood and
then had been slain by a stab to the
heart 1t is thought the captain, the
cook and the engineer all died fighting
desperately. The rigging was cut in
several places by bullets, and there
were signs that the cook had been at
tackled IN the galley. The prisoners alb
solutely refused 20 say what was done
with the bodies Of the white men, and
the only possible conclusion was that
they were thrown into the sea. All the
negroes were slightly wounded. They
became greatly excited when they had
been put in irons. Their guarded state
ments indicated that from the end OF the
fight until the boarding party came ON
deck the four men Lad watched each
other increasingly. tearing treachery.

MEEkER FINISHES JOURNEY.
Creates Sensation In New York With
His Prairie Schooner.

New York.-A team of oxen draw
ing a prairie schooner" the driver
of which was rugged looking old
man, who wore typical western garb,
including sombrero, attracted great
crowds on Broadway ON Thursday.
The vehicle and the driver were not
only in striking contrast with the auto
mobiles and carriages on the Great
White Way" but they were de-
cided novelty in New York. The
driver was Ezra Meeker. pioneer of
the Oregon trail, who had returned
over the trail he followed to the west
half century ago. All along Riverside
drive from Grants tomb to Seventy
second street, Meeker was followed by
an interested and curious throng.
When Broadway was reached the
crowd was so dense that the oxen,
the hale old man afterwards described
as Dave and Dandy, had hard time
to make any Roadway. Meeker's trip
ended at last at the Battery. He had
come all the way from Puyallup,
Wash, to New York, In 6e6 days.
Meeker's object in making the jour
ney Is to persuade the government to
build national highway from east to
