[per PRESS ASSOCIATION. —COPYRIGHT. |
Received this day at 9 14 a.m. Sydney, January 21. A letter has been received from H. Forlong, a New Zealander, who is laboring as missionary in the Malekula States. The French claim the whole of South Malekula and small islands on that coast, including the island where Forlong settled. Two agents of a French trading company ordered Forlong to leave. He declined and later on, during his absence, the agents returned with twelve armed natives and broke open his hut and removed much of Forlong’s effects, and left a warning that if lie had not cleared out before January Bth, they would come back and kick up a row. Porlong’s letter records the dcatli of Mrs M'Kenzie, formerly of Dunedin and stationed with her husband at Malekula from fever.
