any man wanted to see me, he could
come on board the vessel I intended
| to go and have an interview with the
father, but was unable to do SO,
from the fact that he was always in
company with three or four passen-
gers. Between seven and eight
o'clock in the evening, was attacked
| by the father, of the girl, while I
WIS issuing orders in the pantry,
and received several severe blows
from a club over the head. He
said: You id s. of b, what
did you do to my daughter last
night?" 1 said: Mr.. King, keep
cool, and we will have an explana-
ton. Take me before a justice and
[ will abide the consequences. He
persisted in beating me, and finally
seized me by the neck and half
strangled me. The captain inter
fered, and [ extricated myself.
Then | went ashore because the
father threatened my life. l inquired
of a man l met which was the next
nearest port of debarkation for San
Francisco. He had heard of the
affair on the steamer; told me that I
should have to 60 to Coos Bay. He
promised to take me to the beach in
a skif', if l would pay him S5. Once
on the beach [ could walk to Coos
Bay. He suggested that We had
better have a little whisky before
starting. as he would have a hard
pull and a long walk. l furnished
the money and got the whisky.
About 10:30 p. IL. we started. After
proceeding a few yards the boatman
lost a row lock. This was only a
feint, as afterward appeared. He
pulled back to the wharf and asked
me to jump ashore. l did SO, and
was Immediately surrounded by a
dozen men. They said they were
policemen, and that they would take
care of me.
THE TRIAL
Was held on a hill, the father acting
as Judge. OF course, [ was found
guilty.
The men relieved me of twenty
dollars, bound me securely. and sen
fenced me to be taken across the
river and severely whipped. They
used me roughly, and threatened me
with death. [ told them I did not
care for death.
Finally, the Court adjourned to a
saloon, and all hands took whisky.
I had some. One fellow said: " Give
the poor devil show before starting
him on his Journey
THE EXECUTION"
At one o'clock [ was placed in

revolver, followed. The man pulled |
