For the RELIEF of the WIDOW and CHILDREN
of the late

CAPTAINIaSIY HALES,
Of the Ship Orer.EY, Southern Whaler of London,
Who with the Second Mate, and Boat's Crew, were inhu manly
Massacred by the Spaniards, on the Island of St. Maria,
,coast of Chili, on the 24th of February last, under circum-
stances of the most aggravated barbarity, by which deplorable
event his Widow and Orphan Children are left entirely des-
unite of the means of Subsistence.
'I 1i IS Melancholy Catastrophe occurred on a
-4- voyage to the South Sea Fishery,—Captain HALES
sailed from England in the Ship .offiey, abnut the month of
October 1820, and havin,, doubled. Cape Horn, after a rough
Passage, early in 1821, he put into the Island of St. Maria,
whicti is uninhabited, on the Coast of Chili, to re-fit.—On the
24tb of February, about 10 a. sr.; several men were seen on
",e beach, and Capt. Hales supposing them to be Spaniards,
w,2"0 had come over from the Main, went on shore with his
'" ~,ee°ml Mate, Armourer, and four Seamen, armed, for the
fur Pose of procuring fresh provisions. The party was seen to
a!lo, and join the Spaniards, who appeared to be very friendly
with them ; they shortly afterwards retired from the beach to-
Me, and it was supposed that Capt. Hales was in treaty
1--
thent for provisions, and was gone over to the South Bay
to look at them. Towards sun-set, the Captain not having re-
turned, the crew became alarmed and a boat was despatched to
search for them, which returned with information, that on their
2Proach, several strange men were seen on the beach, and
trom their movements more were.supposed to be concealed,
tannd,i; being near dark, it was deemed most prudent to return
- ship without venturing to land. The following
morr"ie ning no tidings having been received of the pay on
boats, eat day-light the Chief Mate manned and armed
;tonwo
for the pu of endeavouring to find them
"ming near the shore, they perceived a man naked, sitting
ike beach, and on landing, discovered him to be Thomds
Moore the Armourer, covered with blood, and severely wound-
VI. ; lie wag perfectly sensible, and informed them, that on their
st landing, the Spaniards appeared to be friendly, giving
them bread and meat, and induced them to accompany them
some distance from the shore, where they were suddenly sur-
rounded by 40 or 50 men armed, on which the Captain re-
solved to return to his. boat, which was refused, except on con.
elition of their delivering up their arms—They were compelled
to comply with these terms.—The Spaniards then treacherously
bound them, two and two, and carried them about three miles
• Into the island, and when dark, brought them back near to the
teach, among some bushes—stripped them—and cruelly stab-
bed them in cold blood, himself alone surviving, whom they left
for dead, he having received 23 wounds in his body, and two
sabre cuts, one on each side of the neck. He was perfectly
sensible, and was immediately taken on board, where the Sur-
geon examined him, and found his wounds mortal.' The boat
pad no sooner returned, than a number of men were seen cm-
mg towards the beach, and soon afterwards a man presented
himself dressed in the Captain's clothes, waving his hat for a
boat to come on. shore; he was accompanied by three or four,
who, appeared to be Officers in green uniforms, with cocked hats
and sabres ; others were discovered from the mast head lying
behind the beach. ' The leader of the party appeared so much
414 Captain Hales, that the Armourer was questioned whe.
ther he was positive that the Captain was killed, when he assured
then: he was, and that the Captain or leader of the Spaniards so
much resembled -Captain Hales, that he had remarked it when
r shore. The Offiey immediately weighed anchor, and stood
Or conception, and at 5 r. at. the Armourer became much
aors; and Ai 9 the same evening died.-.An instance of more
end
barbarity perhaps never occurred ; Capt. Hales, the
Inhuman
Mate,. Armourer, and four men perished, in this most
ray tman transaction ; Capt.. Hales has left a WidoW and seve-
obuihiblzeti totally destitute of the means of subsistence, to
„lendllwhich' this appeal is made with confidence to the bene-
tribu,,,!f 'the Public, convinced that they will humanely con-
denr,-- w the relief of an unfortunate family, who have been
aup`po—v,edi by. this unforeseen and calamitous event, of their only
. and who have thus been reduced.from respectable and
comfortable circumstance: to the greatest poverty and distress.
