KINGSTON, Gam Dec. 81.
a most desperate attempt TO escape was
made by the Prisoners of War, on board
the Loyalist. on "Wednesday afternoon.
The intention of the Prisoners (for it had
been previously concerted) wss to assault
both the guards. and, at any rate. to make
sure of the otficer--for this purpose they
were divided into two parties, and at half
PCS, S p. NJ. they put their plan into exc
euion. The attack they made was ipstap
taneous, but the party who attacked the
guard, and whose primary object seems to
have been the SEIZURE OF their arms, was SO
roughly handled, having six killed outright,
ak more severely wounded, and who are
not expected to survive, that they gave il
up and were driven below, excepting elev
en-, who jumped overheard. and are suppos
ed to have been drowned. The party tina,
proceeded to the oifcer's cabin, succeeded
so far, but they had scarcely attained their
object, when they were put hors de com
bat by several of the guard.
Capt. l.. Urry acknowledges himself to
be one of the ringleaders. * said their inten
tions were nothing more than to regain sweet
liberty.
Five Of the killed are white, their bodies
were brought to Port Royal Naval Hospital,
when coroner's inquest was held over
them yesterday afternoon.
