which they evinced as to their real situation. The

Vixen and the explorations of Ashpoor
River Among other things be stated that
on landing at Hutchinson Island it was as
certained that two days before all tbs negro
cabins, overseers houses, and out buildings,
together with all picked cotton had been
burned. The attempt at the same time had
been made to drive off the negroes but
many had escaped. Some of their number
had been shot in the attempt. The scene
was one of complete desolation. Thesmok-
ing ruins and the covering figures of the
negroes who still instinetively cling to their
birth place, although there was no longer a
shelter for their heads, is most melan-
+ choly sight About one hundred and forty
! negroes, most OF them in a very destitute
condition had collected ct Otter Island.
Com. Drayton had directed they should
be supplied with food until some disposition
could be made of them.
