MASSACRE BY TIIE BLACKS IN QUEENSLAND.-
We regret to state that a very dreadful massacre has been
perpetrated by the aborigines on the north-east coast.
The most prominent victim has been a Mr. Horatio Wills,
a very old settler of New South Wales. It appears that
there were 19 persons murdered. The following is a
list of their names :—Mr. Wills, Mr. and Mrs. Baker,
Elizabeth Baker, David Baker, Ida Baker, Baker, an
infant, Patrick Manyou, Mrs. Manyou and infant, Mary
Ann Manyou, aged eight years, Maggy Manyou, aged
four years, George Ling, James Scott, Henry Pickering,
George Elliott, Charles Webow, Edward M'Cormack,
Tom (Blank). John Moore and Patrick Mahoney escaped,
in addition to Kenny. On the morning of the massacre
about fifty blacks were in the neighbourhood of the camp ;
they left before dinner time, but returned, with their num-
ber increased to from 300 to 400, and attacked the settlers
as they were in the act of erecsing a tent. They defended
themselves as well as they could with the tent poles, as the
whole party were unarmed, with the exception of Mr.
Wills, who was found with a revolver in his right hand, one
barrel of which had been discharged, and a double barrelled
gun in his left. When the blacks first appeared at the
camp, Mr. Wills informed them that they would not inter-
fere with their pursuits, but that he did not wish them to
come there. Unfortunately he did not compel them to re-
main away. The party of settlars who started for thecamp
on the receipt of the news of the massacre arrived there on
the foilowing evening, when, after burying the dead and
securing the sheep, they w ent in pursuit of the
blacks. They came up with th em the next night, after
travelling twenty .five miles, but retired two or three miles
to wait for daybreak before com mencing the attack. The
blacks, however, retreated and r.m. up a steep ridge, which
was inaccessible to the pursuers, and from which they were
unable to dislodge them, but a (pc tantity of the stolen pro-
perty was secured, as well as son se native arms.—Austra-
ban and New Zealand Gazette.
