PaNANG, ‘A
prii 15.—The ship Julia, of Bombay, put
in yesterday -hort of provisions and water, she having
been 66 days from Bombay to Singapore, with convicts.
Oa her passage she was ac nearly taken by the convicts
as pus ibis, and was only saved by the prompt and ener-
getic mea,ures taken by Captain Fettick, her commander.
I thick his conduct beyond all praise and dk serving the
greatest publicity. It appears Capt. Fettick was going
to br(akfast when he heard the noise, and report of the
convicts being adrift ; he at once seized a double-bar.
relied gun, which he fortunately had loaded, and ran to
the main hatch, where ho saw the most desperate con-
vict of the whole gang using a bayonet freely to all
about him. Capt. Fettick called to him, and on the fel-
low looking up and seeing Capt. Fettick, took deliberate
aim at him with a musket be bad seized ; Capt. Fettick
therefore let fly, and shot him dead. Another convict,
a little farther cfl, was also making free use of a bayonet,
when Capt. Fettick gave him the contents of hie other
barrel, and dropped him a corpse. It is hard to say
what might have been the result bad the Chieftain
armed,
