this morning from Sitka, where she was re-
lieved on the third instant by the United
States ship Alaska. All was quiet at the
time OF the OspreY's departure. On the
night of the twenty-ninth ultimo trouble
was feared, and, at the request of the col
lector of the port, Colonel Dill

of ChIoott Indians, who recently arrived
from the north, had been holding a drunken
carousal with their friends IN the village,
during which a quarrel arose, and Sllka
chief named Anahoos, who is friendly TO the
whites and lives within the stockade, was
severely wounded. One of his assalsnts was
badly hurt, and the Chilcotts threatened to

friendly actions with Anaho0ls. Aside from
this no trouble arose during the 0sprey's
stay at Sltka.
