Charles Huelett. Of Boston, is here look
ing for friends of Charles Emerson. whose
murder in Madagascar he thus relates:
about twenty months ago | left New
York with my partner Emerson for NADIA
gascar, to prospect regarding sheen. cot
| ton and coffee farming. At Dunbar we
chartered the British bark May Queen
to convey our merchandise, CONSISTING
mostly OF cotton goods, to NADIA
gaScar. One portion of the cargo was
landed at MOandana, and the Remainder
at Balon. We started from Moandana into
the interior, hiring labOrers to carry our
merchandise, trading as we went and
paying royalties when demanded. Each
might've ntrenched our camp and placed
sentries, and very lucky this turned out.
Tor one night on the Mangoka river the
natives attempted to surprise us, but
after several volleys from us they retired.
This was but the commencement of our
troubles, as our native carriers deserted
us. We were compelled to abandon our
merchandise and cover itup i'm the desert.
1t was eventually lost
1--WE did not, however, give in, but went
on with our few remaining carriers. hir-
ing others, and finally reached the coast
in safety. In August we again started
into the interior, NJ. Theodore Pervs. a
Frenchman, acting as our guide and in
terpreter. Our party numbered eighty.
and all went right until we were within
about one days march of Tullcar. eighteen
miles north of Nossi Be. About , o'clock
September 10, a shot was fired from plan
tatiOn of tamarind trees, which skirted our
path. Taken completely by surprise
and Outnmbered, our natives ran for
their lives. My partner, Mr.. Emerson,
was shot dead at the first charge. / was
behind at the time, and being unwell was
carrying nothing. My servant, one of the
Antrias tribe, was carrying my coat and
revolver. He was speared in the side.
and again in the wrist but ran for the
woods. | followed, but before reaching
him was wounded in my right leg and
right arm by spears. Directly | overlook
my servant got the revolver, and one or
two shots caused the robbers to halt.
'''The French interpreter, Perys, plead
for his life, but they would not listen to
him, and butchered him as he stood, tear
ing out his arm and mailing il up for a
trophy. A bearer was also Killed, but the
other natives escaped. / hid with my
servant in the bush and the next day we
bribed the natives TO carry us to Tuilcar.
i was treated kindly by Norwegian mis-
siOnary at that place. l was taken from
NOssi Be to Durham on n British gun
boat. From Durham IsprOceeded by mail
steamer to London. The matter was laid
before the American Consul at London. -
