in houses or tents, apart from the natives;
that they had guns, but no balls that
being in a weak and exhausted condt-
ion they were subsequently killed by the
natives with darts or arrows. The pa

the place. At the last taccounts the Hol-
steiners had surrounded and bombarded
Frederichstadt. The whole OF the neigh
