MURDER BY TREACHERY. When they went ont on the boom Smith hed a capstan bar. I did not see this, as I waa asleep, but they confessed it after ward to me ; and Smith knocked the se cond mate ou the heed with the capstan bar aud stunned him, and then drew him off into the sea, aud he wasn't seen any more. Then they called up tbe first mate. aud 1 said, "Hv liod, 1 will hit you yet before I eet through with you." The Captain commenced to fire quite lively, and wife would go in and ont of tbe cabin and watch for her husband ; but she didu't kuow how to load. I forgot to say thai the French boy had been gggd aud tied ; but he got away and came aft. He bad a revolver, but he didn't hit any of them The revolver was no good. During tbe shootiug I at last bit Klue in the muscle of tbe arm, and 1 think tbe Captiao bit Smith in the wrist. Miller then rushed forward wirh a piece of iron frnm the stove eud struck the Captain in tbe face aud cut him, and he waa bleeding. Then be went ait aud elewed dowu the topsails, Jacob was aft with nt, but he didu't do any fighting He was at tbe wheel moat of the lime.

Towards night of the first day after the mates were murdered the Captain's wife came forward ai.d begged of them to tell her where tbe "boys' were that is, the mates end spoke m Smith, but they wouldn't answer her. We bad bread and a little water and some cold salt beef, bnt we couldu't cook. We wculd do e little fighting end then we would set e little. I believe I fired forty to sixty shots at thorn. The boy was too frightened to do eoy thing.
