HAULING DOWN THES BRITISH FLAG.
ON THE ISLAND OF KPL.
A BRITISHER'S FIGHT.
Among the Presbyterian missionaries who recently arrived at Sydney from the New Hebrides were the Revs. Dr. Bowie, F.;Bowie, and W. Watt
Mr. Watt stated that it was perfectly true that trouble had arisen on the island of Ept between the French residents and an English man named Trumble, and that the British flag had been hauled down.
"As far as I gathered," said Mr. Watt to an Interviewer, "Trumble has been on the island for some three or four yerrs, engage in plant- ing and gathering copra. His place is close to the scattered habitations along the coast of some half-a-doren, or probably more, French residents. One of the latter, whom I know personally, is a rather superier sort of man, but a number of the others, I understand, are liberated convicts. Epl is the island upon which there has been a great deal of trouble for a long time, and the incident in which Trumble figured occurred within the past month. There are, I suppose, some 2,000 or 3,coo.natives on the island, and they are peaceable enough.

"It appears, however, that the Frenchmen objected all along to Trumble (who, by the way, in, I believe, a brother of the celebrated Victorian cricketer) taking up the land be in at present living on. Trumble did not take any notice of them, and dew the British flag from his residence. One day recently the Frenchmen, so the story goes, went down in a body during Trumble's absence and hauled down the British ensign. Before long they decided to go a step further, and turn him out of the place, and it is understood abost half a dozen of them again visited Trumble's resilence and found him at home. Their remarks and behaviour indicated very plainly that, they meant business, and, Trumble saw that he would have to fight. He that from this date, commencing with succeeded in thrashing the lot of them single handed, and they beat a retreat. The matter pon got about among the residents, but the authorities, of course, have done their best to keep it quiet. All the natives questioned on the subject of the title stated that the claims of the Frenchmen that the land had been sold to them before Trumble took possession were false.
"As soon as the matter became officially, known Captain Rason, the British Resident or Commissioner of the New Hebrides, visited Epi in the H.M.S. Archer, and, I understand, pro- cured a report of the whole circumstances from Trumble and others. The French warship.was omewhere about the islands just before we left a fortnight ago, and there was a rumour that she
was also about to visit Epi to inquire into the
trouble. Of course, Captain Rasan's report on the matter will not be made public, and all the officials are trying to avoid piblicity, but, a cording to the reports which have leaked out Trumble was unfairly treated. Being a big, powerful man, however, of wonderful endur ance, he was able to hold his own, otherwise it might have gone seriously with him, shpe
"Regarding our mission work, I can say that it has been very successful during the past. three or four years, but, of late, there have been a great number of deaths on the island of Tan naj where I was stationed. The direare ap- peared to be a sort of influenza, and it played sad havoc among the natives. The litle craft called the Tilikum called in at Tanna on the 8th inst.
