Fighting Between Mission Boys and “Bushies.”
From Our Own Correspondent.
New Hebrides, May 19.
AT Melsisi, Pentecost, there is a war between the “boys” of the Roman Catholic Mission and the pagan bush “boys.”
The “bushies” broke up a church in the bush, belonging to the mission.
For vengeance, 15 mission “boys,” without the knowledge of the Pere, went and attacked 50 “bushies,” killing two and scattering the rest.
They are now waiting for the Resident to go and settle the trouble for them.
