Captain Challis, from the South
Sea Islands
|
|
Returned yesterday from a cruise
among the Pacific Islands, her attention
having been principally directed
to the Solomon Group. She left Sydney
on the 12th October, and arrived
at Makira on the 27th same month,
the voyage throughout having been
made under canvas. During her cruise
she has visited Santa Kateline,
St. Christval, Guadalkana, Yasabel,
Saro, Eddistone, Treasury and Floriday.
At Santa Katelina and Yasabel, Captain
Challis surmises from the hostile
attitude of the natives, and from
what slight information he was enabled
to glean, that some labour-seeking
vessel had visited these islands,
and had sunk some canoes, consequently
but little communication was held
with the natives. The mate of the
schooner Restless, lost some time
since on the island of Makia, is
a passenger by the Rosario.
