I have the honor to forward for your information the report made to
Captain Fanshawe of HM Ship "Daphne" by Lieutenant Lacy of the Daphne,
who commanded a party sent to apprehend the murderers of the British
seamen at Newitty, on the 19 July last; the tribe at first fired on the
boats, but fled when the party landed, Lieutenant Lacy did not pursue
them owing to the nature of the ground but the other Indians represent
the dispersion of the tribe as complete, this was effec==tedeffected without loss
and the wounds of the two seamen are slight. A most beneficial effect

has been produced on the tribes in the neighbourhood who had previously
caused much alarm among the Hudson's bay company's servants, and
endangered the safety of the post at Fort Rupert, for the future I trust that place will remain in Safety which it did not appear to be before —
