OTHER REPORTS OF ATTACKS

MANILA. Nov. /. - Rear Admiral
Seebre reports that when the United
States Pacific feet touched at Admiralty
islands, it was learned that recently can
ihals from the islands captured boat
containing three Englishmen and three
Chinese. One of the Englshmen, who
escaped through the connivance of Il
friendly tribe said that his companions
had been killed and eaten.
There have been repeated reports of
attacks by savages upon ship wrecked
salons in Polynesia during the last few
weeks, and it is possible that the story
tod by the fleet is another version of
the massacre at New Briton in Septem-
Der.
In that instance Capt Lindsay and
his crew of ten from Ketch RabauL
who We're on trading expedition, are
said to have been killed and their bodies
burned with their boat.
