NeAv York, June 14. —A story of hor [ ror on the sea within shadoAv of the Sandy Hook .'rum fleet’s rendez\*ous, reminiscent of the days of buccaneering on the Spanish main was drawn piece . meal today from fifteen Chinese surviv ors of the man-smuggling schooner Mary Beatrice, picked up adrift last night at the entrance to the harbor. *** , TMiey unfolded a story of a baud to hand encounter betAveen twenty Chinese passnegers and the crew of four. In i the fight the creAv and five Chinese were. - slaughtered aud thrown overboard after ' the unidentified captain had deserted the craft with $5,000 passage money. When their story was concluded the au » thorities Avere as mystified as they wrt-o • Avhf'fT the trim little schooner slipped 1 into the harbor with her strauge pas • sengers. The British consulate eeommunicated Avith officials at Nassau, Bahamas, port , from which the Chinese said they had ‘ last sailed, in an effort to trace the I ownership of the craft and her captain’s identity. Nothing throwing any light on the situation had been received to l night. The stories of the -5 survivors, pieced ’ together, indicate that the schooner had . arrived off the coast about* .Tuqe 6. and stood off for several days ~ aAAniting , launches to smuggle the Chinese ashore. Provisions and drinking water ran short and then the mysterious captain, to whom each had paid $250, quit the ship and has not been seen since. The suspicions of the Chinese who shotted restlessness through the delay in landing. Avere aggravated when the mate demanded an* additional $250. Two Avhite men and ttCo negroes comprised the crew. Resistance to the demand for more money was said to have started a gen eral battle at dusk Tuesday, implements of every kind being brought into play. Interpreters gathered, from accounts j given by the exieted Chinese that the at , tack Avas made on one of their num , her, then all joined in the struggle for , self preservation, 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 avlio fell in the fray their bodies were cast into the sea. The mystery was intensified by the ,absence of sliipls papers or navigation instruments. The 15 Chinese tvjll be „ taken before officials of the Chinese bu- I reau of immigration tomorrow. If it is found that the schooner was British. ( it Avas said the Chinese Avpuld be turned over to the British government, and if the craft Avas of American registry the federal authorities probably would prose . cute the 15 men for the killing of the crew. ' John F. Dunton. inspector in charge of the Chinese division of the immigra tion service. said he avus skeptical whether five Chinese had been killed on the boat. He based his, conclusion, he said, on the fact that on June 10 he tva.s notified that a schooner was on rum row with 15 Chinese aboard.
