was brought into collision with the Cynthia,
striking her on the port bow and causing
such gap in her side as to sink her in few
minutes, the vessel filing with great rapid
ity. Those on deck had barely time to rush
below and warn the members of the crew

OF ferocious fight which took place near

were carried away by friends of the fallen,
but three or four were discovered .on the
field, minus,scalps. The Bloods appear to
have gotten the worst of the encounter.
They got away with most of the stolen
