CHINESE SURVIVORS
TELL OF SLAUGHTER
ON SCH. BEATRICE

New York, June IA story of
horror on the sea witnln shadow of
the Sandy Hook rum fleets rendez-
vous. reminiscent Of tho days OF
puccaneering on the Spanish Main,
was drawn piecemeal today from
fifteen Chinese survivors of the man.
smuggling schooner Mary Beatrice,
picked up adrift last night at the en-
trance to the harbor.
They unfolded q story of hand
to hand encounter between twenty
Chinese passengers and the crew of
four. In the fight the crew and five
Chinese were slaughtered and thrown
overheard after the unidentified can
tain had deserted the craft with
$4,000 passage money. When their
story was concluded the authorities
were mystified as they were when
the trim little schooner slipped into
the harbor with her strange passen-
gers.
The British consulate communi-
Gated with officials at Nassau, Ba-
hamas, the port from which the
Chinese said they had last sailed,
in an effort to trace the ownership
or the craft and her captains iden-
tity. Nothing throwing any light on
the situation had been received to-
night.
The stories of the fifteen survivors,
pleced together, indicated that the
schooner had arrived off the coast
about uJne 6. and stood off for sew
eral days awaiting launhces to
smuggle the Chinese ashore. Provis-
ions and drinking water ran short
and then the mysterious captain, to
whom each had paid $3.50, quit the
ship and has not been seen since.
The suspicious of the Chinese,
who showed restIessncss through the
delay in landing, were aggravated
when the mate demanded an addi-
tional $3.50. Two white mon and two
negroes comprised the crew.
Resistance TO the demand for more
money was said to have started a
general battle at dsuk TUESDAY i'm
ptements of every kind being brought
into play.
Interpreters gathered from accounts
given by the excited Chinese that the
attack first was made on one of their
number. then all joined in the strug
gle for self prcseryat using
knives, axes, raZorS. marlin spikes or
anything that could be used as a
weapon.
The outnumbered crew was over
whelmed and killed and with FIVE of
their opponents who fell in the fray
their bodies were cast into the sea.
The mystery was intensified by the
absence of ships papers or navi-
eating instruments.
The 10 chinese will be taken before
officials of the Chinese bureau of i'm
migration tomorrow. If it should be
found that the schooner is British
it was said the Chinese would be
turned over to the British govern
ment, and if the craft is of American
registry. the federal authorities prob
ably would prosecute the Is men for
the killing of the crew.
John +. Dunton, inspector in charge
of the Chinese division Of the immi-
grafton service. said he was skeptical
whether five Chinese had been killed
on the boat.
He based this conclusion. he said
on the fact that on June 10 he was
notified that a schooner was on Rum
Row with Is Chinese on board.
