Several of the crew...became uneasy and apprehensive at the threatening aspect and increasing numbers of the natives...seven of the Europeans were seen rushing out of the hut followed by natives, and the groups of natives outside joined in an attack commenced with stones, and quickly terminated by clubs and other weapons...'.
