The store-huuso was then fired, and, but for
the fortunate discovery of Cupt. I?. Tuwbrs, I
it wotild, with soy oral other buildiug*, huve

but we learn that he has since made good his

A Large Strawberry.
A fair hand lias laid on our tabic tho largest

made it very unpleasant.
The wheat generally is looking well, tho'
wo loaru tliat tho rust has appeared on tho
stalk in one or two places. A previous frost

again. When daylight broke, wo landed
by moans of the boots'oil nn island,
where wo ronalncd two days without any
water, when some of.us went on board the
ship again to get some, as also provisions.
The "captain left in his boat with sonio of
his crew, and we woe uot disturbed by the
natives for a month after ho was gone; they
then came over from the mainland, distant
about three-quarters of a tilile, and
made an attuok uu uh. iSomc of lis had
double-barrelled' carbines, but we got
frightened and threw them away. The
only white man left with us, after the departure
of ('apt. I'ennard, was a Uroek,
who, having " nod himself with a cutluss,
fought de.sj>. ' and killed a grout many
of the native.- i >re he Was overpowered.
They th( n took all of our clothing, &c..
which they partly destroyed. Any valuables
that they found, such us sovereigns,
rings, & ('., they placed in n netbig, which
each man carried around llin neolc. A
watch particularly excited their attention,
as they were continu dly opening it to observe
the reflection ot t'tKv faces in the glatfs.
At night we wore placed in the centr<i of
a clear piece of ground, and a i'.te lit in
several places, the u:\ti\Vs keeping a regular
watch over u <; aud during the day
inoy wouiu select mur or live unincio, mm,
after killing thorn, roast tin* flesh and cut
it; what was not consumed being deposited
in their nets Their mode of proceeding
was as follows:
The victims being decided on, they were
taken out, beaten all tjver, (except the
head,) and thoii dispatched by ripping the
stomach open. The b".;ly was then cut up
in small pjeees and divided; the lingers,
toes and brains being eagerly sought after;
the bones were then collected, and either
burnt or thown away. 1 saw ton of my
fellow-passengers killed in this way.
" On one occe.asion, some of the Chinese
took a bout which belonged to the ship and
went over to the mainland to get some water,
but never returned, so we thought thev
had been killed. I'very day they brought
us cocoa-nnts or some wild roots to eat,
and appeared to be quite friendly with us,
This state of things continued until T wat
taken off the island. When 1 left there

all the rest having been killed. I saw
those fivfc the (.lay tho, stnalner came in sight,
but when tho natives flaw tho boat* coming
on shore they took them to the muUittains
I was sick mid lame, and tho}
would not carry 111c, ho that I watched my
opportunity and contrivod to concoal myself
among the rocks until the boat came
on shore. They arc very numerous, but
Jo not appear to have any .chiefs uifionu
them., They live on cocoa-nuts, of whieli
there are large quantities, and a kind ol
yam, which they roast before eating; but
