They carried the fragments for miles away from the site, and scattered them about in every direction, so that the chapel might never be rebuilt.

Some of the instigators and chief actors in this outrage, were "gentlemen of property and standing," residents of Bridgetown.

The first morning after the outrage began, the mob sought for the Rev.Mr.Shrewsbury, the missionary, threatening his life, and he was obliged to flee precipitately from the island, with his wife.

He was hunted like a wild beast, and it is thought that he would have been torn in pieces if he had been found.

Not an effort or a movement was made to quell the mob, during their assault upon the chapel.
