Neil Heniy, one of the survivors OF the
steamer Pacific, passed through here in
charge of the two Chinese taken from
the Eliza Anderson. and for which said
steamer has been detained in this bay
for more than three months. Mr. Henly
informed our reporter that he was under
orders from the .. S. Marshal to sci
these two men at liberty in Victoria
They were detained as prisoners at large
at McNeil Island, and paid at the rate OF
81 per day each. When the case of the
Eliza Anderson was decided in favor oi
her owner, the authorities had no more
need of the two Chinese, and what to dc
with them was not easy to decide, bnt
finally they decided TO pay the men what
was due them providing they would
agree to pay $50 each to the authoritie:
upon their being admitted in Victoria.
