SUBSCRIPTION
For the RELIEF of the 'WIDOW and r."l/ILDREN
of the late
CAPTAIN 1-IF,NRY HALES,
Of the Ship OFFLEY, Southern Whaler of London,
Who with the Second Mate, and Boat's Crew, were inhumanly
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-
titute of the means of Subsistence.

THIS Melancholy Catastrophe occurred on a
voyage to. the South Sea Fishery,—Captain HALES
sailed from England in the Ship Offley, about the month of
October 1820, and having doubled Cape Horn, after a rough
passage, early in 1821, he put into the Island of St. Maria,
which is uninhabited, on the Coast of Chili, to re-ft.—On the
24th of February, about 10 A. at., severamen were seen en
the beach, and Capt. Hales supposing them to be Spaniards,
who had come over from the Main, went on shore with his
Second Mate, Armourer, and four Seamen, armed, for the
purpose of procuring fresh provisions. The party was seen to
land, and join the Spaniards, who appeared to be very friendly
with them ; they shortly afterwards retired from the beach to-
gether, and it was supposed that Capt. Hales was in treaty
with them 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
approach, several strange men were seen on the beach, and
from their movements more were supposed to be concealed,
and it being near dark, it was deemed most prudent to return
to the ship without venturing to land. The following
morning no tidings having been received of the p irty on
shore, at day-light the Chief Mate manned and armed two
boats, for the purpose of endeavouring to find them ; on
coming near the shore, they perceived a man naked, sitting
on the beach, and on landing, discovered him to be Thomas
Moore the Arrnourer, covered with blood, and severely wound-
ed ; he was perfectly sensible, and informed them, that on their
first 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-
dition 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
beach, 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
had no sooner returned, than a number of men were seen com-
ing 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 t_ 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
like Captain Hales, that the Armourer was questioned whe-
ther he was positive that the Captain was killed, when he assured
them he was, and that the Captain or leader of the Spaniards so
much resembled Captain Hales, that he had remarked it when
on shore. The Offley immediately weighed anchor, and stood
for Conception, and at 5 P. aI. the Armourer became much
worse, and at 9 the same evening died.—An instance of more
atrocious barbarity perhaps never occurred; Capt. Hales, the
Second Mate, Armourer, and four men perished, in this most
inhuman transaction ; Capt. Hales has left a Widow and seve-
ral Children totally destitute of the means of subsistence, to
obtain which, this appeal is made with confidence to the bene-
volence of the Public, convinced that they will humanely con-
tribute to the relief of an unfortunate family, who have been
deprived, by this unforeseen and calamitous event, of their only
support, and who have thus been reduced from respectable and
comfortable circumstances, to the greatest poverty and distress.
