Missionaries Amid the Atchin Uprising

By an uprising of the savage islanders on Atchin, of the New Hebrides, the white trader and his people, the only white persons on the island besides our missionaries, were driven out. Elder and Mrs. C. H. Parker, however, barricaded the mission, and held on, though the Presbyterian missionaries of a neighboring island kindly sent a launch to take them off. The tumult has quieted down, and our missionaries have had opportunity to act as peacemakers in a way that seems likely to give them greater influence with the islanders.
