Tho Massacre of tho st. Paul Passenge

The Chinese passenger Of the st. Paul who was
rescued by the steamer Styx, and arrived on Tues
day has furnished us with the following account
of the massacre Of the Chinese passengers by the
st. Paul. wrecked at Rosscl Island:
The ship went Oh shore during the night and
when she struck the passengers all rushed on deck
making great cutlery. upon which the captain
drove them all below again. When DAYLIGHT
broke we landed by means Of the boats ON IN is
land, where we remained two days without any
water when some of us went ON board the shin to
get some, as also provisions. The captain left in
his boat with some of the crew, and we were no,
disturbed by the natives fer month after he was
he gone; they then came from the main
land. distant abont threc-quarers Of n mile, and
made an attack on us. Some of us had double
barreled carbnes but we got frightened and
threw them away The only white man left with
us, after the departure of Captain Pennard was "a
Greek, who. having armed himself with n cutlass
fought desperately, and killed great many of the
natives before he was overpowerod
| They then took all our clothing, &C., which they
partly destroyed, Any valuables that they found
such rs sovercgns, rings, g.; they placed in a net
bag, which each man carried round his neck
watch particularly excited their attention, ms they
were continually opening it to observe the rcicc-
ton of their faces in the glass AT night we were
placed in the centre ola clear piece of ground and
fires lit in several places, the natives keeping n
regular watch over us, and during the day they
would select four FIVE Chinese, and after killing
them, roast the flesh, and cat it, what was not con-
sumed being deposited in their nets Their mode
of proceeding was as follows: The victims being
decided on, they were taken out, beaten all over
excepting the hcad) with akind of club, and then
dispatched by ripping the stomach open. The bo.
dy was then cut up in small pieces and divided.
the fingers, toes and brains being eagerly sought
after; the bones were then collected. and either
burnt or thrown away. saw ten Of nv fellow
passengers killed in this way.
On one occasion some OF the Chinese took boat
which belonged to the ship and when over to the
mainland at night to get some water but never
returned. so we thought brought us cocoanuis or
some wild roots to cat, and appeared to be quite
friendly with US. This state of things continued
until was taken off the island. When left there
were only four Chinese and the Greek alive, all
the rest having been killed, saw these five tn.
