THRASHING A KING

We were trading to the Loyalty is
lands in the brig Louise Of san Fran
cisco and on this particular trip had
anchored in a bay in the kings own
island and opposite his village. The
king was called Tom John. and he pro-
fessed the greatest friendship for trad
ers We had been there for ten days
and nothing whatever had occurred to
make us suspect treachery. The cap
tain and | had been ashore several
times, been treated with the greatest
Difference, and the natives who had
boarded us did not need watching.

feast on shore that evening, sort Of
blowout to prove the friendship of
the islanders, but ais the captain was

left the brig it was with the UNDER

The night came down very dark, with
the promise Of a change of weather.
Every night we had had two armed men
on watch, while the cannon was loaded
with canister and the musEets we're
ready at hand in case Of an alarm.
There were thirty canoes drawn up on
the beach, and the adult male popula-
ton of the town counted up at least
$50. For arms they had few old
muskets, but depended mostly on blow
guns. iances ana bows and arrows.
Aside from these every man had a
knife. We had an anchor watch set,
with orders to be extra vigilant, and
this man had not been on duty an hour
when he felt, as he afterward explain-
ca it, that something was wrong with
the anchor or cable. He aroused the
man who had left the deck, but was
ridiculed for his fears and ordered 10
