In 1794 we read of " a great desire in many 
of the women to leave the island;" and of a boat, 
built on purpose to remove them, being launched, 
and upset. In August, the same year, " a grave 
was dug, and the bones of all the white men 
that had been murdered were buried." In 
November, " a conspiracy of the women to kill 
all the white men, when asleep in their beds, 
was discovered. They were all seized, a dis- 
closure ensued, and all were pardoned." Nov. 
30th, " The women attacked the white men, but 
no one was hurt. Once more pardoned, and 
threatened the next time with death."
