It was proved that the poisoning bad

When tbe counsel for the prisoner had
finished bit speech, he aaid: "And these,
gentlemen of the jury, are some of tb
allegrd poisoned cake. W declare to
you. gentlemen of the jury, that they
are not poisoned rske. They are aa

And be did eat one. II took good
care, however, to leave the room at the

of a mil from Black Point on tb bluff.
I waa informed aboat twenty minutes to
4 by baa Kisaouth, who lire near by,
that a schooner wa going on the point.
II immediately rushed out. and wa on
the bluff about fifty yard from tbe rocks
when the schooner, drifting broadside
on. ttrock. Tb wind wa blowing

WRECKED B.T WAVEa.
1 wa quickly on the thora. Tb Tea
sel wat scarcely 100 feet away, and wat
right oa top of tb sharp rocks, which
wer exposed by each receding wave.
The men were plainly visible, huddled
together, hanging on to the house at tbe
tern of tbe schooner. At fir minute
to 4. fifteen minute after th ttrnck,
tb mizxenuiaat toppled over with a
crash that wa heard abov the other
noise, and th mainmast and the fore
mast quickly followed A the fore
mast went over the aide tbe vessel split
in tb middle, and the rake of ice with
which the was loaded cam pouring out
A tb vessel parted the men jumped
for tbe rocks They all Landed. Toung
Lawrence, a mere boy, only 19 yean
old. wa th last to jump, lie never
reached tbe thon The mate. John
Rooney, aa quickly as be could, threw
off hi boots and overcoat His fore
thought aaved bia Ufa Tbe captain, the
mate and tbe steward, Frank Ham

Webert and another teaman named
Sana tried to work their way over to
ward tbe sooth end of th reef, tb
other went ttraigbt abead and more
toward th north tide, wbrr th tea had
full twerp.
I had run down to tbe shore whil
Kiasouth bad gone after another man
named Rowley. When they got to tbe
scene tbe vessel wa in pieces and tb
men straggling for tbeir uvea. I sta
tioned myself toward the south tide, and
beckoned and gesticulated for the men
to com that way I yelled also, but I
could hardly hear my own voice. Th
group of three and the young tailor,
however, kept right on. Tbe tea waa
dashing over tit rock with terrific
force, every wave completely submerg
ing them Tb bole and rrerice were
filled with water, and through these tbe
men waded or twain, clinging to th
rockweed or tb slippery rock a each
wav struck them.
WASHED SWAT.
Toung Lawrence had scarcely covered
twenty-five feet of the distance when a
wave struck him and be disappeared.
Be waa the last to leave the vessel and
the first to drown. KUtonth and Row
ley had now arrived, and Webert and
Land, who bad crawled and twain in,
were hauled ashore, while I ran orer to
th other side, toward which the cap
tain, mate and steward were etruggling.
Tb mate had caaght hold of a cake of
tee and wat endeavoring to keep afloat
en it bat soon let go.
(t wat only five minute sine they
had left th ship, bnt it teemed an age
to tb men on there who were watching
th brave straggle of th unfortunate
Bailor. Inch by inch they fought tnr
way along th treacherous, slippery
rocks, holding on for their lire la th
crevice and by th weed when the big
breaken dashed over them. A tb
wave receded I would rush down th
slippery rock on which I stood In tb
vain hope that they would get near
enough for me to seise them. Tbe min
utes seemed lik boar, bat (till tb men
held on.
Now they are within ten feet, bat an-
oer w,r' break over them.
If 1 bad
had a ten foot rope I would have saved
them all The tospent wa awful as
th men, with their drawn face and
hut teeth, held on and looked toward
the refuge bo near them. Now tbe war
goes back. A strong effort and they

rmxen beef or antelope meat, constitute
hit bill of lare.
In a tent ten feet In diameter, a buck,

tbeir uncleanly habits, it ia not difficult
to imagine tbe condition of the habita

of the Indian to the north wear slipper
