Framed Print of An East African slave-trading village destroyed by the boats of H.M.S Briton and Daphne, 1873. Creator: Unknown
An East African slave-trading village destroyed by the boats of H.M.S Briton and Daphne, 1873. The operations of H.M.S. Briton and H.M.S. Daphne on the east coast of Africa, for the suppression of the slave trade, under the treaty concluded this year by the negotiations of Sir Bartle Frere with the Sultan of Zanzibar, have been attended by a painful incident, which made it needful to inflict severe chastisement on the murderers of a British naval officer. Sub- Lieutenant Marcus M'Causland, of the Daphne, having been cruelly and treacherously slain, on September 15, by the people of Kiunga, a native village concerned in the slave trade...it was resolved that an example should be made of the offending village. This service was executed on the 22nd, by armed boats parties from the Briton and the Daphne, under the command of Lieutenant Arthur Phillpotts, of the former ship. Our Illustration shows the scene of the burning village, with the sailors who had landed on the beach exchanging shots with the enemy behind the stockade and in the bush; the boats are lying a short distance from shore, and one of them has been assisting with the fire of a swivel gun or a rocket'. Engraving of a sketch by Lieutenant J. Fellowes of the Briton. From Illustrated London News, 1873. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images
