time only one serious casualty hsd happened 10 IN
Adamson having been shot with musxet.oaii IN The
groin but two other fatal accidents occurred IN quick
succession.
The Rstilers fret cutter, in chsrge Of Payrnaster
Brownidon, ran alongside a large Junk. severN
spkpots thrown at them missed, but at last one hove
from the raised poop of the pirate by woman win
child supg TO her back, fell into the boat, and being
folosed by Others, the crew were compelled 10 Jump
over board, where two speared and third was
wounded ard drowned. One Of these, marine, who
had been wounoed by spear thrust, called % his
comrsde 10 him. and the other being an excellent
swimmer got hold OF him for that purpose. Ice
Cbipese then threw mat over them aud the marine,
still holdipg on BY his wounded friend, Owed below
and came up clear Of the mat; but az soon as he
was observed, several stinspots were pitched at hin
one Of which stuck him on the head and though
not mucl Dult, It was AOi q ",
two, and lost sight Of the man be had displayed
such a determination 10 save; the orsve fellows
name is William Robinson. The other fatal acci

posion and both officers and men we're hurled into the
water Three of the were killed, and several
others frshuully scorched, OF whom died the same
night While other not expected 10 live; but the
officers uiraculously escaped, though Lieut. Rola1 10
was burned and Capt. Felowes injured by ths falling
s.ars. The survivors were, however, all picked up
by Mr.. Craig, mas er's mate OF the PoTh stan who
had luckily got into The boat the moment before the

qnsntity of easure said 10 amount TO two hundred
thousand dollars, and the desperation with which her
ere fought may be judged OF from the fact that even
after the Americans gsined the deck they were en-

eral sounds Continued te throw s'inkpos; but ult-
maiey he ran below, AID is believed 10 have fired the
