ALLEGED MASSACRES IN TUE INDIAN SEAS.—A
Moulmein paper contains an account of shocking massacres,
and the destruction of vessels, at one of the Nicobar Islands,
detailed in au affidavit made before the auistaut-com-

missioner of the Tenesserim Provinces, on the 13th ofFe-
bruary, 1862, by Malim Sshio, a merchant, and master of
the brig Samna, who had picked up, whilst lying off Non-
cowry, on the 20th of January last, floating on • log of
wood, a Coringee, named Soobooroyloo, who stated that he
was one of • crew of forty-five men belonging to a Coringeo
craft, from Singapore for Noncowry, to -load cocoa-nuts ;
that before her cargo could be completed, she was sur-
rounded by a number of armed boats, whose crews boarded
and carried her, and put moat of her people to death ; that
he saved his life by, swimming to the shore ; but that he
was taken, and imprisoned by the natives upwards
of two months. Soobooroyloo also states that his
was not the only ship that had been attacked by the
natives of Noncowry, for, after he had been a month on
shore, an English barque came into the harbour formed by
the Islands of Noncowry, Camarata, and Trincutty, and
anchored there. For four or tire days a number of boats,
more and more every day, went off to her ; at last one day
Soobooroyloo saw her settle down and sink. Her long boat
came ashore full of Noncowry men ; they brought with
them • European lady and her child, a little baby nut two
years old. }or four days the poor lady was the victim
of their brutal abuse, when death put an end to her suf-
ferings; and she was no sooner dead than they hacked the
child to pieces with their knives. Before he left the is-
land, Soobooroyloo fell in with three men. He found they
were his countrymen, Coringces, and they proved to be
1 the remnant of the crew of the English barque. They told
him that their vessel had been carried, and scuttled by the
savages, who had murdered the captain and his mate,
and two other Englishmen (passengers, it is presumed), and
after plundering the vessel, had brought the captain's wife
and his infant daughter away in the long-boat. They
could not tell the name of the barque, but she was from
Calcutta, with • Lasear erew. They had shipped there
tbemeelves ; the vessel had come to the Nieoban for a
ca
eca et cocoa-nuts, she had on board of her eight bullocks,
rate, a small quantity of piece goods, some casks of
sad several bags of money in rupees. .1 (Melia
liffeatlntanaged to escape the fate of those ships, as I knew
beheahmad the character of the men I had to deal with. I
kept well out in the offing, in 16 fathoms water, and was
very careful nut to allow more than one boat at • time to be
alongside of me, and as s -on as I had discharged one boat
et onewoauts I made her go well away before I suffered
nuethee boat to approach. Soobooroyloo was upwards of
two maths and a half on shore, and this affair of the Bug-
lib lamas took plate about a month and a half before ay
esedag."
