Atrocities In the South Seas.

Another barbnrous outrage by Solomon
Island natives on n poacoable trading
schooner, has 10 he recorded IL WINS sup
posed that after tho cnstigaton given TO
tho natives noar Marau, aud other places,
by II. NJ. s. Danac, that for some time TO
como wo should hear liitlo or nothing Of
native outrngcs. This, unhappily, ia not
the case; FOR wo already learn that tho
schooner LsporGn2a, of Sydney, has been
taken, tho crow murdered, and tho vessel
pundorcd aud destroyed by fire. Captain
lIaddock, of tho queen, which arrived Mt
Sydney recently, spoke tho LspernUza some
limo before tho affair, Mt Cimbo, or Eddy
stone Island, and Ind mn interview with
tho master, James NJ ln'osh; also with tho
mnto, Peter Gafrncy. Thoy had just come
from Rubnna, where they Ind discharged
n cargo of coprn, that being tho hcndqnart-
ers of the fleet of Mcsers. Cowlishaw
Brothers, aud Captain Ferguson, to whom
tho Lsperanza belonged. Tho Queen again
called Mt Cimbo early in June, when tho
chief of that place aud other natives came
Off and reported that tho hSperanza had
put into place known by the native nnmo
of Collolanghangra, whore dispute, it is
alleged, arose between the chief of that
place and Captain M'lntosh. 1t is stated
that tho natives, who were allowed on tho
vessel for trading purposes, came on board
in swnrlns. Ono of them seized Captain
M'Intosh round the neck. whilst another
struck him with tomahawk, and he died
almost Mt once. The mate, Peter GafFhGy,
who was related to the master, was butch
cred in n similar manner, md the rest of
the crew, four hands, made up of natives
from various islands, were also killed III
the native fashion. The schooncr's trade,
and everything the natives conld relieve
her of, were stolen, and the vessel was
fred as she lay in the harbor, and was
quickly consumed, with tho object it is
said, of destroying all traces of the affair.
The chief who reported the outrage to
Catpain Hnddock came from the locality
of the massacre. Other natives had heard
of it, and the news had been received at
Rubiana. Tho victims of this massacre
James M'Intosh aud Peter Gaffney--were
well known and much respected in ship
ping circles in Sydney. The former was
once fourth mate on board the mail steam
ship Austroiia, and leaves n widow and
child in Sydney. Mr.. Gaffnoy was single
man, aged %, and has several relatives in
Sydney. During the latter part of last
month, when the schooner Dauntiess, of
FIJI, was off the Island of Api, a boats
crew belonging to the schooner was at
tackled by natives of the island, aud Mr..
Fraser, the second officer, and Mr.. Nicholl,
Government agent, were murdered.

it had died out in that direction. it
looms up again, this time coming

and there is no ground for this as

A FIGHT WITH A CATAMoUNT.

WILLIAMspoRr, Penn, Feb. r.
The lumbermen on Little Pine Greek, in
Lycoming County, have had evidence
for some time that some wild animal was
prowling around their camp. A few
days ago, Robert Carson set heavy steel
trap on the bank of the creek, believing
the animal was panther. Day before
yesterday he went to examine the trap.
He reached the spot, but, although he
had chained the trap fast. no signs of it
could be found. He at first thought
some one had stolen it, and was about
to return home, when he discovered
punches Of hair lying around on the
ground, and evidences of a struggle in
the bushes. He was looking around for
some trace of the missing trap, when he
was startled by fearful howl that pro-
ceeded from tree near by. He looked
up and saw an immense catamount
crouching on limb. The next instant
the animal sprang at Carson, and alight-
ed on the ground within two feet of him.
Carson saw that he was saved from the
claws of the ferocious beast by the fact
that his heavy steel trap YVES fastened
on one of its hind feet. The catamount
instantly gathered itself for another
spring. Carson had an axe in his hand
and before the animal could jump, he
threw the axe at it, and struck it with
such force that the catamount was knock
ed several feet down the hill.
Carson is cripple, and knew that it
would be impossible to get away from
the catamount, Notwithstanding it was
hampered by the trap. He prepared to
fight the infuriated animal as best he
could. The catamount did not give him
moments time to make up his mind
as to his mode of defense, but rushed at
once back up the hill to the attack.
Carson picked large stone, and when
the animal was almost near enough to
him to seize him with its claws, he
knocked it down again with the stone.
Carson said the shrieks of the catamount
made his blood run cold, and as it seem
ed to understand that the trap was pre-
venting it from spring upon its enemy,
it snapped and bit furiously at the iron
that held its leg. 1t hurried to the at
tack the third time, when Carson dealt
it blow on the head with a stone for
chile enough to stun it, and then pound
ed it to death. The catamount was the
largest one ever killed in this regiun,
and Carson firmly believes that he owes
his life to the fact that the animal was
incumbered by the trap.
