The whale ship Frances Henrietta, Capt.
Poole, of New Bedford, fell in with at sea,
in May, lat. AZ N; lon. $50 E., a japanese
Junk, of 200 tons, diSmasted, rudder gone,
and otherwise injured in a typhoon seven
months previous. The original number of
the crew was seventeen, but when Capt
Poole discovered them, they were reduced
10 four, and in furnishing condition. The
crew had drawn lots for some time past as
to who should I've killed, and eaten; the one
upon whom the lot fell, if able, fighting for
his life, in some instances succeeding in kill
ing one of the Others, in which case the
murdered man was first eaten. The sur
vivors were Shockingly Scared with dirk
and knife wounds, a it their lives had been
often attempted by their companions. Capt.
Poole kept them on board his ship for thirty
days, and then put them on board some fish
inr boats; close in shore, about lat. 40 N
They were exceedingly grateful, and mani
tested much emotion on leaving the whaler
The Junk had not much of cargo on board,
or was in such a disgusting condition that
the crew of the Frances Henrietta did not
like TO examine her minutely. They OBJ
taiued, however, number of curIositles,
such as books, idols swords, pictures, fans,
boxes, china ware, boxes of tools, &c.
The Bremen ship otaheite, Capt. Welt
ing had previously picked up another ia
panese Junk, relieved the distressed crew,
and taken to Honolulu several thousand
dollars worth Of her cargo, which was sold
at auction at that place, December Sth, and
brought good prices, the sales realizing a
bout $500, exclusive of 10000 pounds of
beeswax, which was reserved TO be sent TO
Europe The Polynesian says
The junk's cargo appeared TO consist OF
notions and the samples of japanese mer-
chandise were sufficient to show that they
have many articles that their own skill and
comfort could be materially increased by a
foreign trade. Some copper, brass hoop,
iron, aud iron wire, white lead, ginger, and
cinnamon, were Of excellent quality. Their
wrought copper utensils resemble in design
and shape the metallic and earthen manutac-
lures of the Mexicans and Peruvians of the
18th century, while their tools, although
made of good iron and steel, are simple en-
ough in construction 10 provoke the merri-
nent of the greenest son of New Eng

our militia system our generals aud colo
nels. have no authority, and probably the
Governor neither. to call out the militia, so
that if trouble does occur, we must defend
ourselves, single handed, or wait for the
tardy movements of Government, to send
relief; or turn out pell nell without leaders
or commanders, of experience, or food, arms
or ammunition, except such as each one
might chance to have on hand. But this is
an age of Improvement you know!
In one attempt to coerce the Winnebagoes
forward, ] am Informed by a man who was
present, some COO of them flew to their arms
and showed fight. But as the odds was too
great, our officers deemed it not prudent to
commence the bloody work of firing upon
them. Prudence is certainly the better part
of valor, sometimes, and especially in such
case.
How these things will end, you know as
well as do. give the facts as related
here, and you may draw your own coneiu-
sions therefrom. Respectfully, Sc.
