kind of ochre, of a red color and white, and came to the pole with great
parade, holding their clubs and spears. Then they made a sort of
corrobory, or dance; but I could not trace any signs of religion in
these ceremonies, nor detect any thing like reverence paid to the pole.

I asked George Doyley what had become of his father and mother? He told
me that they were both killed by the blacks, as well as all those who
went away from the ship in the first raft, excepting himself and his
little brother.

The little fellow gave a very distinct account of the dreadful
transaction. He said he was so frightened when he saw his father killed
by a blow on the head from a club, that he hardly knew what he did; but
when his mother was killed in the same way, he thought they would kill
him and his little brother too, and then he hoped they should all go to
heaven together. I then told him that all the crew, except myself and
Sexton, were murdered.

After we had been on the island a few days, a vessel came in sight, and
I did all I could to induce the natives to take us to it; but they would
not part with us. Seven days afterwards, two more ships, in company,
came close to the shore. The natives seemed very much frightened at
this, and were in the utmost confusion; they took us, and all the
skulls, with the dog, and hid us among the bushes until the ships were
gone.

We were very scantily supplied with provisions during our stay on the
island. When the natives had been unsuccessful in fishing, they would
eat it all themselves; and at other times, when they caught a good
supply, they gave us the entrails and heads. This, with a sort of wild
plum, and now and then a piece of cocoa-nut, which we got without their
knowledge, was our only food.

We were sometimes so hungry as to be glad to eat the grass. Through
doing this, I have often been attacked with such violent pains in the
stomach, as made me unable to walk upright.
