lt appears that when Robinson and his
 three companions, in their
 sLOoP ExAMINeR,
 reached Tiburon Island three of them went ashore in small boat, while the fourth, o7;I:: II; remained on board the sloop. The Indians p-oiessed friend ' ship and thus won the confidence of the men, and the Indians replying to an I inquiry in the matter of game reported | it abundant inland. Robinson and Logan anxious to secure game followed the direction indicated, the third man being left in charge of the boat. In the course of an hour or so after the departure of the men, some of the indians who had gone with them return ed to the man on the beach and reported a large turtle above certain bend on the shore and requested the loan of both boat and rife that they might kill it. The man foolishly complied and the killing of Robinson and Logan follow ed
 The turtle story was but a mere ruse to get hold of the mans gun, for on rounding the designated point two Iudi- ans landed, ran inland and

 on thelr return towards the boat. It is not certain which man was killed first, but from the description given, it is thought to have been Robinson as he was the larger man of the two and was SO described. On the killing of first man the second one broke for the shore and shouted for help to his companion at the boat, but the Indians easily outran hIm and killed him. No defense appears to have been made as but three shots were fired. Robinson was killed by the first shot. Logan was shot twice. The Indians then returned to the boat and rowed in the direction of the man on the beach for the apparent purpose of returning him both boat and gun, but in reality

Both men, however, were placed painfully on the alert, by the cries for help of their murdered companions, SO that on the return of the Indians with the boat the man on the sloop, sick and without a gun, seized something that resembled rifle, made hostile demonstrations and shouted to the Indians who fortunately OtChtu6 DdulC LuTcW uOEu bu6 gun, spraug from the boat and ran inland This then is the
 TRUE STORY OF THE KILLING. The authenticity of the killing lies not only in the statement of the Indians who dld the bloody work, but in the statement of the two mes, who escaped, to Consul Forbes, at Guaymes. This statement of the survivors, verified that made by the Indians ln all matters per taining to the borrowing of the gun and the boat and the subsequent action of the survivors while at the Island.
 There is,' sad professor Mo Gee to the writer, absolutely no doubt in my mind as to the killing of those two men, or the manner of their death. I am, furthermore, equally as we'll satisfied that the bodies of the men were not eateu for during our intercourse three days with the Seris Indians l took l many occasions to question them on this subject and one and sll denied the | charge of cannibalism." They are | however, "contlnued the professor,
