[No. 2]

It is with much satisfaction that I have to report to your
Lordship the return of the Schooner "Cadboro"
to this place, on the 7th Inst, with the force lately despatched
to Neah Bay, to demand satisfaction of the Natives of that place, for
the plunder of the "Una", and the maltreat--mentmaltreatment of her crew, as
communicated in my letter of the 29th January. ⎯
The expedition produced the desired effect of alarming the Natives, who
made every concession and repa--rationreparation in their power.      They expressed
regret for the misconduct of that part of the Tribe which had been
almost exclusively concerned in plundering the "Una", and readily
restored every article of value which remained in their possession.

The Chief or principal person of the Tribe, who it appears was
absent when the "Una" was wrecked evinced his good will in every
possible shape, and vigourously exerted his authority in compelling the
restitution of the property.      Mr Dodd the Commander of the
Expedition, ascertained that he had punished the plunderers of the "Una"
with more severity than was called for, by the circumstances, previous
to the "Cadboro's" arrival in Neah Bay; having caused ten of the number
to be shot, and one, who was accused of being the party who set the
vessel on fire, to be burried alive.      Those barbarous ‸actsacts were however,
neither demanded nor approved by us, and were the result of their own
influenced deliberations.

This affair which might have proved troublesome and expensive has
been therefore quietly settled, by a simple demonstration, without any
direct act of hostility, on the part of this Government, though it has
made a deep impression on the minds of the Natives who were intently
watching our proceedings.

I have the honor of transmitting herewith duplicate of my letter
of the 29 Ultimo and
