The following are feme particu
lars of the melancholy fa:e that has
attended the crew of the lliip Boyd,
which failed from £ tany Bay to
New Zealand, in confequcnce of un
agretmuji male by the captain with
one of the chiefs of New Zealand,
(who happened to be at Botany
]ir.) to purchafe limber to take to
England. On chs arrival of the

fhe’rc, and attended the chief with
part of die fliip’s company in the
boat. Nothing particular tranfpir
ed on this occafion ; but the chief
returned on board the imp attend
ed by a number of canoes full of
nuir. They were permitted to ex
amine the fhip, as a matter of curi
olity. Tappohee, the chief, was
treated wich gffat refj'-eft j—and
having continued cn board lome
time, he got into his boat, for
pur pole, as it was fuppnfed, of
inetiing the captain of the lhip,
who he fa:d, had gone to fee the
timber. Infttad, however, of leav
ing-he ill ip, he gave a Tell, which
was a fignal for the maflacrc of the

told tnem, they had got ail rhey

and that if they would comedown
their lives finuuld be ipared. The
deluded men obeyed, and ft]!, like
their comrades, a fieri fine to the
inordinate and brutal appetites of
the cannibals. Tne two female
paffengers and the boy were taken
on ftiore, and the. fhip v.as burnt.

In the mafiacre of the crew of the

The horrors that immtQiately lor
rteded the defear, the tnoft lenfible
imagination can but faintly repre

on, and as the men had ft and the fury
of their conquerors, the women and

was difpacchcd, and unhappily the
fatal difeovery very lbon made.
