Comstock then put the muzzle of the gun to his head, and fired, which instantly put an end to his existence! Mr. Lumbert, during this time, was begging for life, although no doubt mortally wounded. Comstock, turned to him and said, "I am a bloody man! I have a bloody hand and will be avenged!" and again run him through the body with a bayonet!
Lesh Lumbert. Byttor. A Frutor. Curlew. A Sutteltee. Against this prodigious gormandising we must set that noble gift, the Library presented to Oxford by Duke Humfrey of Gloucester. In the Catalogue, drawn up in 1439, we mark many books of the utmost value to the impoverished students. Here are the works of Plato, and the Ethics and Politics of Aristotle, translated by Leonard the Aretine.
Comstock, took his light into the cabin, and made preparations for attacking the second and third mates, Mr. Fisher, and Mr. Lumbert. After loading two muskets, he fired one through the door, in the direction as near as he could judge of the officers, and then inquired if either was shot! Fisher replied, "yes, I am shot in the mouth!"
Who were the Captain and mates of the ship Globe? Ans. Thomas Worth, Captain; William Beetle, first mate; John Lumbert, second mate; Nathaniel Fisher, third mate. Q. Where was you born? A. In the town of Edgarton, State of Massachusetts. Q. Did you sail from thence in the ship Globe of Nantucket, 20th Dec. 1822, and in what capacity? A. Yes; as a boat-steerer.
But Comstock assuring him that his life should be spared if he gave it up, he did so; when Comstock immediately ran Mr. Lumbert through the body several times!! He then turned to Mr. Fisher, and told him there was no hope for him!! "You have got to die," said he, "remember the scrape you got me into, when in company with the Enterprise of Nantucket." The "scrape" alluded to, was as follows.
The mutineers then threw the body of the Captain overboard, after wantonly piercing his bowels with a boarding knife, which was driven with an axe, until the point protruded from his throat!! In Mr. Beetle, the mate, the lamp of life had not entirely gone out, but he was committed to the deep. Orders were next given to have the bodies of Mr. Fisher, and Mr. Lumbert brought up.
Previous to his shooting Fisher, Lumbert asked if he was going to kill him? To which he answered with apparent unconcern, "Oh no, I guess not." They now opened the door, and Comstock making a pass at Mr. Lumbert, missed him, and fell into the state room. Mr. Lumbert collared him, but he escaped from his hands. Mr. Fisher had got the gun, and actually presented the bayonet to the monster's heart!
