HC Deb 12 April 1872 vol 210 c1151
MR. EASTWICK

asked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, Whether any information has been received that the water-logged vessel containing a number of dead and half-starved Polynesian Islanders, which was recently towed into a North Queensland port by one of Her Majesty's ships of war, is identical with the schooner "Peri," which brought a cargo of kidnapped natives to Kigi, from the Salomon Islands, and on board of which an attempt was made to shoot Mr. March; and, if not, if he can state to what country the vessel belonged?

MR. KNATCHBULL-HUGESSEN

said, in reply, that he was not in possession of any official information on the subject; and until he was, he was unwilling to make any statement; but he would gladly give any certain information as soon as he received it.
