CAPTAIN HENRY DALES,
Of the Ship OFFLE Y, Southern Whaler of London,
1410 with the Second Mate, and Boat's Crew, were inhumanly
Massacred by the Spaniard, 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
eveat his Widow and Orphan Children are 141 entirely des-
titute of the means of Subsistence.
THIS Melancholy Catastrophe occurred on a
- -

voyage to the South Sea Fishery,—Captain HALES I
sailed from England in the Ship Offley, about the month of
October 1820, and having doubled Cape Horn, after a rough
PasN-I'e, early in 11121, lie put into the Island of St. Maria,
which is uninhabited, on the Coast of Chili, to re-fit.—On the
• 2 lilt aea Febru about 19 A. M., several men were seen on
the bdi arY'
, and Capt. Hales supposing them to be Spaniards,
had
wie,
. come o'aer from the Main, went on shore with his
hezond Mate,
r r-,0 aTate, Armourer, and four Seamen, armed, for the
la'ilrl)--„,„'”j.Proeuring fresh provisions. The party was seen to
aatii';;'4 Join the Spaniards, who appeared to be very friendly
getl,-,' theta i they shortly afterwards retired from the beach to-
witiil:thitarallu it
wu
supposed that' Capt. Hales was in treaty
• to for provisions, and was gone over to the South Bay
tw.L. ok at them. Towards sun-set, the Captain not having re-
, '-"3-',, the crew became alarmed and a boat was despatched to
earth for them, which returned with information, that on their
f)nroach, several strange men were seen on the beach, and
arro‘n their movealents more were supposed to be concealed,
.t. it being near dark, it was deemed most. prudent to return
torn the iship without venturing to land. The following
teming no tidings having been received of the party on
b shore
at day- light the Chief Mute manned and armed tw
c: t•I for the purpeae of endeavoaring to find them ; on
- 'fling near the shore, they perceived a man naked, sitting
91? the beach, and on landing, discovered him to be Thomas
Moore the Armourer, covered' with blood, and severely:wound-
.eu
i , he was perfectly sensible, and informed. them, that on their
",pter' landing, the Spaniards appeared to be friendly, giving
n bread and meat, and induced them to accAnnpany them
6°lne diatanee from the shore, where they were suddenly sur-
rotinded hy 40 or an men armed, on which the Captain re-
!Olyed to return to his boat, which was refused, except on con-
. ".tion of their delivering up their arms—They were compelled
i)" comply with these teThe Spaniards then treacherously
. • °u.nd them, two and two and carried them about three miles
trim the island, and when Clark, brought them back near to the
beach, Mona; some bushes—stripped them—and cruelly stab-
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-
ra examined him, and found his wounds mortal. The boat
't no sooner returned, than a number of men were seen corn-
,g towards the beach, and soon aftcrwaids a man presented
oc
aatriself dressed in the Captain's clothes, waving leis hat for a
vat to come on shore; he was accompanied by three or four,
tho appeared to be Officers in green uniforms, with cocked hats
ea, sabres ; others were discovered from the mast head lying
rind the beach. The leader of the party appeared sO much
th4aer he Hales, that the Ar.mourer was-questiOned whe.
. .
tbew he
Was positive that the Captain was killed, when he assured
414 '4e was, and that the Captain or leader of Spaniards so
on cii: resembled Captain Hales, that he had remarked it when
forlere• ' The Othey immediatelv weighed anchor, and stood
traa,PeePtion, and at 5 P. 4s. the Armourer became much
atra' aild at 9 the same evening died—An instance of more
s Gus barbarity perhaps never occurred; Capt. Hales, the
izelrlMate, Armourer, and four men perished, in this most
rat c"""o transaction ; Capt. Hales has left a Widow and nye-
vo_bildren totally destitute of the means of subsistence, to
;sin which this appeal is made with confidence to the bene-
tiajjente " the Public, convinced that they will humanely con.
de hte to the relief of an unfortunate family, who ha•ve been '
auPrived, by this unforeseen and calamitous event, of their only
c4P,Prt, and who have thus been reduced from respectable and
SL lortable circumstances, to the greatest poverty and distress.
