Tahiti Consuls and Starved Exiled Veterans Tracked
Fragment from a late 19th century newspaper recounts petitions to British authorities over Tahiti and the British Auxiliary Legion. It details consular maneuvers by Mr Pritchard, captains Hill and Pelham, and the plight of starving Tahitian hostages, widows, and miners facing the Truck Act’s effects, with letters, memorials, and appeals for relief. It notes shipboard disputes, the Spanish government, and the plea for mercy from magistrates, urging humanitarian action for the unemployed and their families.
