The other was short, thick set, hut rather heshy,
vet well dressed. Was not this Ex- commissioner
Brown? The remaining three made no special i'm
preston upon the minds Of my iuformants.
When the party landed, they made signs for the
- big chief Of Ebon. There was 4 great crowd of
people upon the shore. The spot where they landed

west side of the island. Some of the chiefs were for

chiefs, what should he done. The friendly chief
beckOned to them TO follow him, but he was finally
overpowered, and the mad project was formed Of
putting the whole party to death, which was done
by stOning. Then followed the scene of plundering
the boat and throwing the bodies into the sea.
