• Christensen did what he could with his gun, and the man and boy fought hard for their lives; but Williams became the marked man, and in the melée he received a cut from a wooden sword, four and a-half inches l...^[1]all time · 10623
• Early on the following morning three stalwart blacks and two boys came off in a canoe, and having shown signs of amity, were foolishly invited on board, and food given to them, while the captain gave one of them a blue shirt.^[1]all time · 10623
• The party approached, when the boy perceived a crippled black crawl under the boat to lift it. While they were being driven away, a mob of blacks suddenly rushed from behind niches and rocks; conspicuously was one, highly painted, and the morning visitor, wearing Christensen's blue shirt.^[1]all time · 10623
• The black party counted 30, and a general battle commenced. One blackfellow aimed his spear at the captain's back, when Williams managed to save him; a second was thrown, and again Williams was successful, which enraging the blacks, they turned upon him.^[1]all time · 10623
• The Captain Cook, owned by Captain Christenson, left Cardwell on the 20th instant, and visited the neigh-boring islands, seeking beche-de-mer; but perceiving logs of cedar floating, and several portions of wrecked vessels strewed along the shores, they made for Dunk Island, where they anchored about a mile off on Thursday evening, the 21st.^[1]all time · 10623
• They remained some time, and gave the crew to understand that cedar logs and other timber had been washed on Dunk Island beach, and that if they accompanied them it would be under the protection of the captain.^[1]all time · 10623
• Upon landing they saw old black women only. All appeared quiet during a search of upwards of an hour and a-half, when it was noticed that six gins were endeavoring to haul the boat on to the beach.^[1]all time · 10623
• The blacks left in their canoe, and some time after the captain (having a Snider with him), Williams, a third man, and a boy, pulled ashore.^[1]all time · 10623
