CHINESE TREATMENT OF sHIPwRHCKRD sEAMBN-
AMERICAN CLIPPER HOOGHLY.
from the China Mail, September 81
We have been requested to contradict rumor
current in the colony that the ship wrecked seamen
belonging to the American clipper Hooghly, re-
ceived the worst Of treatment at the hands Of tho
Chinese. and to state, on the authority Of one Of
themselves, that they were, the contrary, treated
with much civihty both by the mandarin and tho
inhabitants.
The Hooghly got ashore at5P.M Of the 18th
August, and by o'clock next evening she vas 30
deeply settled in the sand, with the sea breaking
over her poop, that her crew were compelled to
take to the boats The captain in the quarterboat,
with eight hands. made direct to woosuug, which
they reached In safety; the mate with q passenger
and twenty two men in the long boat landed on the
northeast side of the island Of Tsung ming, about
half past ten the same night. In the morning,
about seven. the Chinese made their appearance,
bringing with them cooked provisions and fruit,
which they sold to the seamen. The water receded,
leaving the boat high and dry; but rs evening ap-
preached, the tide flowed, and some thirty Of the
Chinese lent their assistance in Launching her, and
the mate got under way during the night, but WAS
compelled to put back. Next morning, four men,
in opposition to the express Djunctions of their Off
wandered into the interior and having foolishly
exposed their money, were robbed but not other
wise maltreated. A respectable looking Chinese
volunteered to guide the mate and his party
the island distance of six miles, to the residence
Of the Tepo, who offered them provisions, and pro-
vded boat to take them to WOosung, 1T which
place they arrived on the l4th
