A MOST unhappy affair has lately
occurred on one of the Eaft-India
men just arrived : A gentleman and his
niece were paffcngers in the ship from
Bengal, having part of the Captain's
cabin, or round-house, assigned to them
selves for accommodation, and lived at
the Captain's table ; the gentleman a
widower, and appeared to be about 45
years of age,and his niece about 30 ; the
former had been in the profeffion of the
law, and was reputed to have some for
tune, as was the lady, and both were
from York fltire. ,OnWednefday morning
thezß:h ult. it was currently reported in
the ship, that Mr. D.(a cuddy pafenger)
had, by looking through the keyhole of
the door of their apartment on Tuefday
afternoon, differed them in an impro
per situation ; that he had called another
person to be witness of the fame; that
they alarmed the parties by knocking at
the door, and retired. The affair being
universally made known, a reserve took
place at table during dinner between the
gentlemen and the parties, and an ex
planation was so far gone into as to con
vince the latter that their guilt was pub
lic. They accordingly soon retired
from table, and remained that day and
Thursday in their apartment. On Fri.
day morning the 30th, upon a servant
knocking at the' door,' and not being
able to obtain admittance or attention,
a fafpicion arofe,and the gunner was de

pistol, with the latter of which he had
ihot himfelf through the head ; the lady
was lying in the balcony, and a dis
charged pistol near her, with which
Ihe had Mattered her head in a Block
ing manner. They had been dead for
some time, and it was about seven in
the morning when this part of the me
lancholy 'bufinefs was publicly known
in the ffiip. Their bodies were commit
ted to the deep at mid day.—
Some letters were Tou'nd written by the
lady, addreffech to several ! friends and
relations ; one to the Captain, thank
ing him for his kindness ; (one to the
person whose fatal curiosity had occa
sioned the difeovery, upbraiding him
for cruel officioufnefs) and one to a gen
tleman who was in the fame ship, and
who paid his addresses to the lady,affur
ing him, that 111$ esteemed him highly ;
but declaring, that it never was her in

Some with arrows which we

killed one, and we suppose,
wounded another ; cut off the
dead man's head, and bro't
it in triumphantly upon a
pole." .
