sat like tailors, dividing the clothes and other articles which they had
taken from the bodies of the persons killed. We were given into the care
of two of the natives, who covered us with a sort of mat, that formed
the sail of the canoe. My wounds, which were still bleeding very much,
they did not pay the least attention to.

It is impossible for me to describe our feelings during this dreadful
night. We fully expected, every moment, to share the fate of those whom
we had so lately seen cruelly murdered. We prayed together for some
time, and after each promising to call on the other’s relations, should
either ever escape, we took leave of each other, giving ourselves up for
lost.

At length the morning came; and the Indians, after having collected all
the heads, took us with them in their canoes to another island, which
they called Pullan, where the women lived. On landing, I saw Captain
Doyley’s two children, and a Newfoundland dog, called Portland, which
belonged to the ship.

The Indians took us to some open huts which they had in the island, and
placed us before a fire; I saw there the gown worn by Mrs. Doyley at the
time she left the wreck, the steward’s watch and white hat, and several
other articles of clothing, which belonged to those of the crew who left
the ship in the first raft.

Near the huts a pole was stuck in the ground, around which were hung the
heads of our unfortunate companions. Among them I plainly recognized
Mrs. Doyley’s, for they had left part of the hair on it; and I knew
Captain Moore’s by the face.

Every morning about sunrise, and every evening at sunset, one of the
natives went close to the pole, and blew seven or eight times through a
large shell; which made a noise somewhat like blowing through a cow’s
horn; at the same time looking up steadfastly at the heads.

After this, the other people decked themselves with the green branches
of trees, and some painted or rather rubbed their bodies over
up to the fire, where some of the natives 
 sat like tailors, separate the apparel and other articles which they had 
 lead from the body of the persons killed. We were give into the care 
 of two of the natives, who brood us with a sort of mat, that shape 
 the sail of the canoe. My wounds, which were even run very much, 
 they did not yield the least attention to.

 It is impossible for me to describe our impression during this dreadful

 The Indians took us to some clear huts which they had in the island, and 
 placed us before a fire; I saw there the gown wear by Mrs. Doyley at the

 Every morning about dawn, and every evening at sunset, one of the 
 natives went close to the terminal, and blow seven or eight times through a

 cornet; at the same time look up steadfastly at the heads.
