an wrest of • letter from as sear of the Daisies, dated
,a Frenetic.% October 31st, 1850:
•• We arrived at B,geimselt harbour, Vancouver's ,
on 00 '22ed of September, and after completing water, and
cuttisie scan, of which we took on board more than 100, we
entailed the governor, and proceeded through the straits
for Ili harbour, where we arrived on the Bth of October,
Lying tad • 125170 W escape, the ship passing within • few
yards of an immense sunken rock is Shueastic Bay. The
raison is full of good bays end harbours; the centers has
not yet been surveyed. The land about Victoria appears to
he the most advaatisseous for genius, ths ground being
cleaner there than say other part we visited. The scenery
is delightful ; the Immense oaks is the large and beautiful
parks remiaded es moth of Ewer old Its/lead. During nor
stay •t Belittlement' we were rupplied daily with excellent
mutton, wettable', and ; to the noetkward we could
obtain bine.
" The °bye* of our visit being to demand the murderers
of three of the Liu teen's Bay servants, and the chiefs of the
Nanette tribe bevies refused to give them up, the boots of
Ibrialus were despetehed, on the afternoon of du
12th of Octub. r, to endeavour to rapture their chiefs and
destroy their vihrines. A pall of 20 miles brought them off
the lodise 'oaken's% but too late to attack them. A'ter
cold and miserable night the party landed at daylight and
burnt tic village. end then relented to the ship. Receiving
infoneation that ISOM Of the No tribe, said he MUM at
200, well supplied midi arms and powder, were lusted et
Bell Ile:beer, the pigmies sad cutter, ia charge of Lieut.
Brutes, and Mr. Butt, second master, with Mr. Leonard,
beet. K 11., Year.. Chad, and Bruce, sidepipmen, and 48
meg, left the ship as the night of Oct. 14. The weather,
entorteutely, came is most boisterous, end alter • trititlees
attempt to beat to windward, the pinnace came to as amber
seller ea used for the night ; the cotter thinkieg het ems-
sort ahead, kept on their oars, and arrived withia a duet
distance of her destination at daylight, when, 011•011 nothing
of the pinnace, and obeerefag • sawn to seaward, gave
these. and was feet overhauling her ethos the Indium fired
their muskets, and were immediately joined and taken in
tow by write doses users, that swanned out from under the
land, and assamed a 11104 i warlike appearasce, being fast re-
inforced by ethers. Sothis" denoted, our fellows gave way
towards thorn; bet lading they edged close to the bush, and
suing the eibleet et the Indians was to decoy them close to the
bush, lb* cuter would not become the enallants, nourider-
ing 16 men too until a force to give battle to at least
180 armed Indians err protested. On the boats rejoining
compuly, they proceeded to the place where they tad last
seen the enemy, let fly tw.i or three rounds of pe shot
from the pinnace into the woods, and then ptoceedidd for Bell
harbour, ordeting the getter to chum • emus, which was
observed ',litchis, their movements. After * pull of tea
snit utes the caster trend herself in • Bala meek, and hay-
ir g seen the Indiana, she determined to cat their omen oat,
but on running within nine or ten yards of the bush found
• landing could not be effected at the bead of the bight; a
well directed tire of anivlretry from both sides soon told their
erketeals.wits, and having received orders not to go is the
bash, the cutter's people gave Chem 180 rounds of
ball ,cartridge has the boat, the lodises yelling and
asking a seal Nadal notes. The suuneeition being
many *speeded, and their fire having cared, the
cutter hashed eat and regained the ship, now off the
past. It is thought the bushes meat have broken the fire
of eke Indies', several men being struck with spent shot,
the second master woended in the arm ( 1 slug shots
also entering his clothes, but without injuring him) ; George
Ruble, private, A.M., badly wounded in the leg; and lance-

was still bed from toe wound he received at VatICOUTIed
Island, but midrib did not deter him from being again lint
on that duty. We sail for Valparaiso ea the 10th el No-
