PRISONERS IN REVOLT.
A SERIOUS BRUSH. n ' r '(Received r 3,'"lO.'?6"a.Tri‘) """ Thursday Island, September 2. While a police patrol party, under Mr. Burrows, assistant Magistrate, was returning down the Ely River with prisoners charged with murder, cannibalism, and minor offences, the natives unexpectedly attacked them with arrows. Four of the prisoners escaped. Several native police were slightly wounded. Mr Harrows was unhurt. The party repulsed the attack. No serious trouble is expected.
Just a little sneezing, Just a little chill; Just a lot of medicine, Just a nasty pill. Just a week of coughing, Still no chance of cure; But if you’d bought Woods’ Pepper mint, You’d now be well, I’m sure.
