The present commander of the *Rambler is Mr. Hot-
day, the former arid JOstice. 'Captain Powell, with
four of his crew, were massacred on the island (if Va.

the runaway apprentice. The:bny. reterned an answer
-by.lFtter.to the. Captain, refit iag to join the ship any
more, and aroiriag Captain. Powell to aveigh anchor
and he off. At II alms the ship*was nailer weigh, and
stood•np the bay. At noon Captain Powell tired three
starboard gon; ott,thore, it the same time ordering Mr.
Holliday to stand riff with the ship. A boat was then
lowered down the larboard quarter, and was manned
and armed with six haul,, besides Captain Powell.. The
boat went on shore,
.and retut tied with a &ruble canoe,
which w is made fast a-stern of the chip. • The vessel
then tack,..l back again, made a slant board; and once!
more tacked ; when abreast of the beach two more
grips were tired. Captain Powell then made prepara-
tions for returning to the shore, giving directions as to
necessity of keeping the ship from going too near ;
and told Mr. Ilolliday• not to fire, unless he perceived
that the natives were too thickly surrounding and pur-
suing them. Captain Powell, for the hzst time, reached
the shore, and was seen walking up the be ich, when
about sixty or seventy armed natives milted upon him
and four of the poar men, dispatching them in the
twinkling of an eye. The other two seamen being near
the boat, fled into the sea for refuge ; and, although
ene was wounded with a spear, they succeeded in re-
gaining the vesssel, under cover of one of the larboard
guns. The names of the men that perished were—Peter
Ashburn, John Jones, William Halback, and James
Loft. The vessel having experienced a less of ten hands,
with the five runaways, exclusive of Captain Powell,
Mr. Holiday thought it most prudent to make the best
of his way to Port Jackson. , The last words that the
unfortunate taptain Powell was heard to articulate,
were--4 Oh,: my .GoD, my GOD! lam killed !"
Thcabove,account is taken from the ship's log, and
may so far be depended on. hut, it may be inquired,
how many of the poor islanders were cut off by the
firiug.. of Captain Powell, before he went on shore?
and what had' they done ? The log gives no account of
any previous baibarity on the part of the natives. Their
canoe was taken away—well loaded guns were dis-
charged among them—and there can hardly be a ques-
tion but many, many of these poor heathens thickly
fell, from the quantity of shot that visited their shores.
After all this, who can account for the unwarrantable',
temerity of Captain Powell, in landing himself and
men among such an infuriated host? Captain Powell,
we should think, became sacrificed through his own
rashness, and fouipoor fellows were hurried, with then
hapless commander, into an awful eternity !
MAY 6.—We have been informed that it has been re-
potted by some of those belonging to the Rambler
whaler, that our last week's report of the slaughter of
the poor natives of the Friendly Islands, and the mas-
sacre of the hapless Captain Powell and part of his
crew, was incorrect. We can only say, that the new
Commander referred us to Mr. Solicitor Norton for the
extract from the ship's log, which was obtained. If,
therefore, there be airy wrong statement, the sooner the
log is corrected the more satisfactory it will prove to
the cause of truth. We have not yet ascertained the
mason why our countrymen became the aggressors in
this as in many other unhappy instances. The blood
of these natives is as precious in the sight of Goo as
ours; and what Commander, or other man, can expect
to prosi.er through life who wantonly satiates himself
in human blood?
