My vessel belongs at Soiners' Point, N. T., We left 5barleston December 17, loaded with phosphate rock a ter ribly bad cargo to carry in rougb weath er. We were bound to Baltimore and bad provisions for a short voyage. Up to December 30 we bad light, pleasant winds, but on tbe night of Ibe 30tb a hurricane burst upon us, We were then about twenty miles off Cape riatteras. Tbe wind lasted geventy hours W ben it gave us a chance to clear up our decks we found our gaffs gone, our sails split, our boat stove, aud everything washed from the deck that the water 1 could get a purchase on We made tbe best sail we could, out our prog ress was slow. On January 13 I was startled with tbe thought that our pro visious might run short. All hands were put ou short allowance J but what we had left lasted us' only live days. The last mouthful was eatcu on Jan uary 23. The men were feeling very weak, and to make it worse a north west gale took us on the very next day, slartiug the upper deck and causing tLe vergle to spring a hak.

Sampson, however was to quick for him. He drew bis own pistol and killed Se man instantly. He fired tbree shots. Scuiao did sot fire. I beard the shots. I went into the forecastle and found Seaian dead. ' The rest of us were afraid of our lives. If the negroes had not got into tbe quarrel and killed one of themselves, probably tbey would have attacked us. We bad no pistols. That afternoon we cut a piece off of tbe fleshy part of tbe leg. and broiled it on the fire. What we did not want we put in a barrel with some salt, because we did not want to run the risk of hav ing another man shot. Tbe rest of the body we afterwards buried with proper ceremonials. I ate a piece as larce as my two fingers only. It was banded to me as it was taken off the fire and 1 covered it on both sides with mustard. I tasted nothing but the mustard, but tbat night 1 felt bad effects from it. I resolved that I would eat no more of it.
