A TALE OF HORROR. J
SHIPWRECK, SUFFERING, $ MURDER. ;
Our files of late English papers, are i
largely occupied with the details ol a liar- ]
rative which has almost no parallel lor i
suffering and horror, even in the annals <
shipwreck, The facts transpired at a i
police investigation in London. It seems |
that iu 1835, the ship Stirling Castle,
Captain Frazer, was wrecked on u coral *
rcof on a passage from Sydney (o Singa- j
pore. The Captain's wife, Mrs. Eliza Ann i
Frazer, together with 18 meu km! 2 boys, i
comprised the souls on board. Two of *
the men who were at the wheel at the time *
the ship struck, were instantly killed, and <
the cabins were dashed into the hold, to
yetlier with all the bread, pork, and other j
provisions. But, the following harrow- j|
ng narrative, taken down before the^Lord j
Vlavor of London, in the Innornflnn ?t .
* -- fe '
VIrs. Frazer herself, while it oun not but i
?xcite a shudder in every philanthropic 1
mind, will be read with interest at.d sym- i
pithy. We may-add that the statement <
jf Mrs. F. was fully corroborated, and
even w ith additional horrors, by John j
Baxter, the second mate, at the close of
whose evidence, the Lord Mayor said :
/'Several humane persons whose hearts
were touched with the account of Mrs.
Prnzcr's sufferings, have sent to nie con- |
ributions for her benefit. I knew that j
uch would be the case, for any thing so <
earful I never heard sihcc 1 wus born."it
Mrs. Frazer deposed that the crew, t
vhen the tempest ceased, contrived to cut t
iway the masts, in the expectation that t
.he ship would right herttelf; and she did, t
in some degree, change her position,. but |
not to any serviceable extent; they, there- i
fore, determined to get away as well as
they could in the long-boat and pinnace,
which they had contrived to keep secure,
llie two other boats which were attached i
to the ship having Leon swept ittvay by <
the fury of the elements. They knew <
hey were to the northward of Moretoni
3ay, a portion of the settlements of the i
British Crown, and they determined lo 1
nakc tor that place with as much expedi- I
ion as possible. Accordingly, having i
vorked with the most desperate industry i
intil lour o'clock on Sunday, they quitted I
he vessel and took to the hoals. The I
hip's carpenter, the cook, the cook's <
uate, John Frazer, the captain's nephew, 1
tie boatswain, Edward Stone, and Bill t
jorlon, a seaman, took to the pinnace? t
vhile the captain, his wife, chief mate, t
he second mate, the two boys, and the r
est of the crew, look to the long-boat, t
''our days after they committed themselves I
o the care of Providence, Mrs. Finzer c
ras delivered of a child, while up to heir c
raist in water, in the long-boat. . The inant
was born alive, but after a few gasps I:
vas drowned, and the chief mate wrapped s
ip the body in a part of his shirt, which a
le tore from his back for that purpose, tl
nd let it go along with the tide. The t
loor mother could not account for the exraordinary
vigor with which she was able h
o bear up with this calamity, added to 1,
he other calamities to which she was f
loomed to be exposed. Fortunately, she u
vas for some time in a stale of iusensi- c
tility, and was not, until a considerable 11
ime after the child was consigned to the j I
leep, aware that it was brought into the , t
rorld from which it was so rapidly hurried a
way. For a great many days they en- e
leavored in vain to reach Moreton Bay, h
ieing all the time without any food ex- s
ept a small quantity of the lees of hops, a
vhich they had fouryl in a cask. They b
ulfered dreadfully from thirst, as well as.d

ast they reached a large rock, to which f<
hey fastened their boats, and they went a
n quest of oysters andf water; but their n
lisappointments were multiplied upon a

he rock, in expectation of a speedy re- a
il.t. u.. ... ..

ion of another tempest. In the morning ]<
hose who belonged to the long-boat were b
stonishcd to find that the pinnace and $
he men who had occupied her had alto- f
;ether disappeared. These unfortunate r
eljows were never heard of more* and a
heir comrades in calamity could not con- g
ecture what their motivo could be for ma- c
ling an experiment by themselves, with- a
>ut the aid of the experience of the cap- x
ain and mates, whom they left behind. s
The captain's aim was, all! along, after t
hey had been obliged to quit the ship, to i
each Moreton Bay, but finding, that wind r
md current were so (lead against his oh- f
fCt, and his companions being reduced t
o the extremity of lying on their backs 1

was a choice of awful evils, for he knew
that the shore which it was probable they
w >uld reach wa? visited by tribes of savages.
They bore away before the wind,
prepare 1 to meet death in whatever shape
it might present itself, and so exhausted
with suffering as to be careless whether j
they were to di?-( by tne hands of the na-j
lives or to be overwhelmed by the waves.;
At last they came in sight qf land, audi
soon afterwards their boat ran into and
landed in a place called White Bay. They
were now about one hundred miles to the
north of Moreton Bay, which is the principal
of the penal settlements to which
ihe incorrigible convicts were sent to pass
ihe remainder of their days in uninterrupted
labor; and just as they touched
the land they caught sight of vast crowds
of naked savages, who soon apprharlied l
the beach, evidently delighted with the.i
prize that presented itself. The savages,
surrounded the boat, -and, raising it up, !
carried it from the beach to the bush,
with its crew, just as they were. The moment
they laid the boat on the ground,
ihey began to strip the men of their cloths,
commencing with the captain and chief
officers. J oil ft Baxter, the. second mate,
endeavored to hide a shirt ornament in
which his aunt's hair was contained, having
willingly yielded up every thing else;
but the savages became infuriuted at the
attempt at concealment, and beat him
dreadfully* It is unnecessary to say that
the trinket was torn from him. They
broke in pieces the watches and chronometers,
and each took a portion of the machinery
to stick in their noses and ears ;
and, after they had divided among themselves
the various portions of apparel of
which they stripped their captives, they
threw to them the heads and entrails of
the fish upon which they had heen lately
making their meal. The savages, after
having detained them two days, took them <
further up into the hush, and drove them i
inward, that they might, as they soon as- j
:ertnincd fall into the hands of other <
ribes, by whom an ingenious variety was \
o be given to their sufferings. .tTh'e "cap- <
ain had endeavored to prevail upon ihem
to accept the seYvices of the poor cre w
for a longer time, being apprehensive
that any change among the natives would
be for the worse ; hut they beat all the
now naked whites on before them until
fresh tribes came op, and took euch of
them a prisoner, and set liirn to work in
fArrvlllnr nincno rtf
mJ . ..ft ?' UilU lUllIIIg 111
ither exhausting ways. i
Mrs. Frazer being the only woman, was
tot selected by uny of the tribes* but was i
eft by herself, while they all went onward; (
jut her husband got an opportunity to |
mention to her not to stir from the place ,
n which she was at the moment, and that {
le would contrive to. see her in .a few.
lours. During, that night she lay in the
detts of a rock, and in the morning, after ',
ooking about without seeing a creature,1
she determined to follow some foot-marks,
ind after having proceeded to some dis- ,
ancc, she saw a crowd of black women
ipproach. t These, however, belonged lo
he tribe of savages by whom her husband ' |
lad been taken up in the bush on the pre-.'1
ceding day, and they set her to work in,,
cutting wood and lighting hires. Being
luite naked, and presenting a contrast in i ]
icr skin which the women did not like, i J
he was compelled by them to rub herself j,
11 over with gum and herbs, which had'j
he effect of making her nearly as dark as,j
hcmselvcs. . , |,
They likewise tattooed her all over, and i x
>aving pulled her hair out, covered her(l
cad with a sort of gum, and stuck theL
fathers of oarrota and nihnr Wfia
, ?? 11
ver ii. One ol the women having twe^,
liildrcir, obliged her to nurse one of them, j t
lotwithsianding the severe labor she had ,
c? perform, and, if the child was out of!
emprr, the nurse was kicked, scratched, I
nd thumped,for its peevishness, "Atthej*
xpiration of four days, Mrs. Frazer saw 1 [
ler husband for the firstjime since their j ^
eparation. He was dragging along & tree |
nd was greatly fatigued. She had just c
tegun to inquire hn\v it happened that he c.
lid not manage to let her know where he j.
pas, and he replied that he dare not look
or ner, when his tribe suddenly appeared; !j
>ne of them having seen them together, J
nade a push at the captain with a spear, ?
nd pierced him right through the body, *
nd he fell doad in an instaot. Mrs. Freer
ran to her husband, and cried out, ?
Jesus of Nazareth, I can endure this no '
anger/' and pulled' the spear out of his v
<><ly, but his breath was gone foreVer. c
lite then fell senseless, and remained sol1
or a considerable time.; und when she 1
ecpvered her senses, she found herself 8
l?>ng with the tribe, which she was obli- r
ed to serve, but what became of the body |
if Captain Fraz t, she never could learn,
nd of course the barbarous region in 1
rhich she was enslaved, was no place f?r .
ivmpathy. Shortly after this catastrophe J
he first oQicer of the ship having been
nformed that the captain had been murlered
by one of the tribes, formed, in a I
it of desperation, u plan of revenge, fei- .
ered and exhausted with labor as he was.
Tnis intention was, however discovered,
and horrible, was h'13 punishment. Mrs.
Pnyrjr had just lighted a fire by order of
her'tribe,and the juufortunatc man's leg
was thrust into it and consumed, while he
by the Violence of his contortions, actually
worked for the rest of .his body a grave ill
the sand \h which he was embedded.
Two days after this horrible event, a
fine looking young man, named James Mar
jor, was disposed of. Capt. Frazer, who
knew a good deal of the character and
habits of the savages on this coast, had
^petitioned to Major that the savages would
take oft his head for k figure bust for one
of their canoes. It seemed, too, that it
was usual for the savage, who contemplated
that sort of execution, to smile in the
face of his victim immediately before he
struck him to the earth..; While Major
was at .tvofk, the chief of his tribe approached
him smiling, and tapped him on
the shoulder. At that . ins tint the poor
fellow received a blow 011 the back of the
neck with a waddle, or crooked stick,
which siuuned him. He fell to the ground
fend a couple of .savages .set to work, and
by means of sharpened shells, severed the
head from the. body with frightful exclamations.
They then ate parts of the body,
and preserved the head with certain
gums of extraordinary efficacy, and affixed
it as a figure bust to one of their canoes.
The rest of ihe, crew, of course,
expected nothing better than death. Their
apprehension appeared to ^eiale rather to
the mode of inflicting the extreme penalty
than t > the fact that tlicy must prematurely
die. Two of the seamen, named Doyle
and Dig Ben, contrived to steal a canoe,
and endeavored to cross to an island, but
were drowned in the alter,"pt to escape
from perhaps a more fearful death.
There was a lilnrlc mjn? numoil Tn^nnl.
who had been steward on board the Stirling
Castle. When the savages seized the
log-b at in which the crew had entered
Whi ip iiay, they stripped this Joseph as
weil as tiie rest, but as he was of their
on n color, they indicted no punishment
upon him, and he had the privilege of
??>iug about, which , was denied to any
ithers of the wretched strangers. This
man. Aw ho. was continually watching an
opportunity to escape, had assured Mrs.
Frazer that if he could get away, the lirst
lile he should think of saving would be
that of his mistress, lie succeeded in
stealing a canoe, in which he rowed Off,
ann in six weeks he reached Morelon Bay,
where he informed the commandant of the
penal settlement of the horrible circumstances
which had taken place at White
Bay, and ~>i the servitude in which the
survivors of the crew weae detained.
, By this time Mrs. Frazer was separated
tnd tu a considerable distance, from the
iitferenl members of the crew, and she
trail given up all hopes of ever being liberated
from the frightful bondage in which
sh? was detained. The Morelon Buy commandant,
immediately upon hearing this,
inquired in the .barracks whether any >qf
the military would volunteer to save a lady
and several of the crew of the wrecked
vessel, from the savages in the bush, and
a number offered their services at a moment's
notice. By a system of maneuvering
entered into by a convict who had
been for some years in the bush amongst
the savages, the object was effected. All

Frazer's belief, rescued from the savages.
At the camp, the commaudanjt and the commissary,
and in fact all the individuals who
were in the service of the Government^
treated Mrs. Frazer, and her companions
n misfortune with a. degree of kindness
vhich if is evident the fptmec.has a very
varm recollection <.of. . She was placed
inder medical care immediately, and every
hing that was considered likely to abate
he sense of what she had undergone in
vilnessing the murder of her husband, and
he other horrors with which she was sur.
ounri'ed, was done. .
,The Captain of ihe Mediterranean packit,
in which Mrs. Frazer arrived from Sidley
at Liverpool, states that he was at
Sidney at the time of the arrival of that
ady, and that the circumstances detailed,
:auscd the greatest excitement there. .The
sonvict to whose extraordinary e^eriiions
flrs. Frazer owed her escape* received a
rec pardon from the Govethment there,
