ABUSING A SICK SAILOR.

The death of a sailor named John Barlow at

No. 109 Cherry-st. on Saturday, has added one more to

the almost daily stories of cruel treatment on ship board,

Donovan, which recently returned from a voysge to

Cape Haytien, aud while he died of intermittent fever,

the death of George Le Ower at sea is said to have heen

hastened by cruel treatweut from the mate, George

phy.

One of the satlors of that schooner states that Barlow

wins the only practical scaman among the crew; the

services of the others were not fully up to the regu.

menis during bad weather. This caused delays the

vessnl’s progress, and the supply of provisions and wa.

ter became scanty, crew, one after another, were

stricken down with the rever, and this fact, together

with ther inexperience, so aggravated the mate that he

abused them continnaily. Ower had gained the 1 will

of the mute by snowing an lpelination to study. Wien

lying very ill, he wus tortured by the mate with a sail

needle, and received only enrees when Le said he was

dying and unable to work. Ower died the next day and

was barted at sea, Brophy denies that he uscd any vio-

tenee toward Ower, but admits thst he put two of the

SWOY 10 Irons to preserve diseiplioe.

and though he was educated as a evil enginecr lu Paris,
