Lascars then sallied nut to attack the sailor, armed with bind-
4rons. pokers, &c. The sailor, finding himself likely to he over-
powered, fought desperately with a knife in one hand, and a
:dudgeon in the other. In the scuffle the sailor stabbed one of
the Lasears in three parts of his body, and finally effected his
escape to a public house. The Lascars then surrounded the
house, and brought the sailor nut. They would have conveyed
him to their quarters,w here he would doubtless have fallen a sa-
crifice to tfieif fury,lad not the funeral train of a Volunteer,
