A HERRIDEs TRAGEDY.
Captnin of British Schooner Killed
 by Superstitious Natives.

Captnin of British Schooner Killed
 by Superstftious Natives.
 VICTORIA, B. C., Dec. 26.-The steamer Moana. from Australia brought news of an attack on the recruiting schooner Lilly by the natives of Nal lieolo, in the New Hebrides. They mur- dered Captain Henry Asmos4 Atkinson, a Britisher, and wounded two of the LilIy's crew. --ss@a5sr.. F
 The schooner was employed in taking home natives who had been employed in New Caledonia by French planters. One of those consigned to MalIieolo died when near there, and Captain At kinson decided to bury the body ashore instead of at sea. When Captain Atkin- son landed, he was rushed upon and his rifle taken by the blacks. He was then shot and killed with his own rife, two balls being sent into his breast. Some of the native crew tried to save the dead captains body, but the natives Rho were just landed aided those ashore, and the crew fed, two of them being wounded as they swan back to the schooner.
 The attack was the result of superstf- ton attached to the burying of the dead body, the natives believing it nee essary to kill the whites to prevent further deaths from occurring. The schooner Pearl was attacked on this is land few days later. She called at Espigle bay. another part of the island, to land natives, when she was fired upon, and several of the native crew were wounded.
 The rescued captain and crew of the ketch Marquise of Linlithgow have been brought to Launcestef by steam rawhich picked them up in Buss straits. where they had remained on a small rock two miles and a half from the mainland, without food or water and with the sea sweeping. over them for three days.
