SHIP'S CREW MASSACRED.
The Trucanini, which arrived recently at Thursday Island, brings intelligence of the wreck of the Prin of Looan on Moresby Island, and the massacre of all her crew, consisting of six Chinese. The vessel went ashore during a N.W. gale, and the crew were kindly treated by the natives for a few days and then brutally murdered. The vessel was also stripped and broken up. The Trucanini visited the scene of the massacre, but the natives had all cleared into the mountains.
