A Floating Pcst House.
OF THE SALLORS
NOVA SCOTIA COM-
TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE BARK MONTREAL —- BRAVE MENDED.
M. Fonblanque, British Consuk at New Orleans,assisted by two British shipmasters, has just completed an investigation into the matter of the fever-stricken Nova Scotia bark Montreal, and her rescue by Capt. Suttalora. The latter has entered suit in the United States court for salvage, claim- ing that he helped the bark off the reefs, took her to Campeachy, had her repaired, placed a new crew on board and brought her to New Orleans. The bark had a terrible experience. She wasa floating pest house. From the day she left Colon there was vellow fever on board. One by one the crew expired and the bodies were thrown
overboard. Finally there were only two
men left who could do any work at all. The ship was reeking with pestilence. There was black vomit everywhere. The provisions were polluted with it, and the foul clothing cdieonal the air the sailors breathed. When there was hardly any
one left‘to man the vessel a hurricane swept the bark before it. Sails were torn away ; every moment brought some new danger. Che men had lost their bearings and could only guess whither the wind had taken
them. Finally the vessel went aground on a reef. The wind subsided and there was
evidence of the proximity of land, yet not one of the men deserted the craft. There was some excuse for flying from a pest house, but not one of them even thought of deserting, because, as they said, they]® thought they could save her. The investi- gation has developed some interesting par- ticulars, and the statements of the sailors do not altogether bear out Capt. Suttalora, The evidence of the men so far taken agrees. Henry Hans Larrson, the watch-
man, said he jeined the bark in New York and went to Colon, but’ was well when the ship left. The mate had
was better, and one man, Charles Allison, was sick when the ship departed. The next to become ill was Richard Mumford, a seaman, just after sail was made and the watch set. The carpenter hecame Ul two days later. Allison died on iwwust 9. ‘Two days later a young Swede from Gottenburg, who shipped from a dredgeboat at Colon, died, and then Bill English, who also shipped at Colon. On Aug. 15 came the hurricane. The mate was sick then. The captain was well but took the fever the next day. On the 21st the captain, Fred Kopoke, English Bill, Swedish Charlie, and Charlie Allison were all dead, and the mate, steward, boatswain, and Mumford were sick. On that day the bark struck ground. ‘The narrator,a colored
been sick, but
boy, Clarke, Dunbar and Carpenter were still able to work, but the witness and Clarke were the only ones who had any
strength left. Clarke was in charge of the ship. They thought they were on Sisal Shoal, but were not. On the 22nd, Clarke sent the witness and Dunbar in a boat to find shore and report. They got two men to row them back, as they were too weak to do it themselves. When they came on board Clarke wrote a letter and sent it ashore by the strangers. The next day a boat came off with a doctor, the captain of the port, Capt. Suttalora, and some custom house ofiicers. They brought medicine, rice, lemons and other articles. The captain of the port told them to wait until they heard from him again. None of the visitors came aboard, all remaining in their boat. The boat put back after remaining alongside for an hour. All the time the vessel was aground the fore lower topsail and foretop-
mast staysail were kept set, and at four o'clock on the morning of the 24th of August the ship went off the grounds. The
anchor was dropped then. All hands left alive helped on boara except Mumford. No one boarded the barque until the next day, when two physicians, the port cap- tain, Capt. Suttalora, and some men came on board. The clothing of the dead men was thrown overboard and the skip was
fumigated. The bark was taken to Cam- peachy in charge ‘of Suttalora. This was on the 25th, No ballast was taken out. The weather was clear and the boat made
no water. Clarke put the ship in the hands of Capt. Suttalora. Clarke and some of the men are now in the hospital, actual- ly dropping from weakness. There were three pigeons on board, and two of them died with all the symptoms of yellow fever and black vomit. <A dose of sweet oil saved
the other. The decision of the consul’s court was that the bark had not been
abandoned, and the sick and dying men on board remained by to save her, though they had an opportunity to go ashore. They recommend that the underwriters bear in mind the gallantry and self-sacrifice of the sailors. + @ - <a Strange Conduct.
On Saturday morning a seafaring man called at the St. John Globe office and stated that he had been chief mate on the Pictou bark James G. Blaine, which had recently arrived at Pictou from Buenos Ayres. He brought with him what purported to be an extract from the ship’s log. The substance of this extract was that on August 29, lat. 27.56 N., lon. 55.57 W., the cook of the vessel, Timothy Shea, made a murderous and unprovoked attack on him with an axe. He raised his arm to prevent the axe strik- ing him on the head. The blow fell on his
wrist, making a wound about 1} inches long, cutting through coat and shirt. The
mate showed the “wound in proof of his story. After striking the blow the axe fell on the deck, and was again snatched up by the cook, who chased the mate around the forward house to the cabin. As a result
of the blow he has been disabled ever since. The captain called the cook in his cabin, and after speaking to him about the affair, let him
go at large. On Thursday, 2nd September.
the cook was refused entrance to the cabin.
Becoming enraged, he again seized the axe and declared he would murder the second mate. The second mate fired off a revolver to frighten him, and then the cook took to the galley. The crew remained on watch all night, fearing that they would be mur-
dered by the infuriated cook, About 4 a. m., Shea broke out of the galley, axe in
hand, and declared that he would kill any-
one who came near him. The second mate again fired a shot to frighten him, threw him to the deck and placed him in irons. Qn coming to anchor at Pictou the cook was handed over to the police, but as no one appeared against him, he was granted his freedom. If the story is true. Shea would
