Then they both secured clubs or pieces
OF wood, aud 1t seems that Billings had

repulsed again. Then, standing at o
distance Of s few feet, threw his knife
at his enemy, striking him just over the
heart, the blade passing between the
ribs and penetrating the heart, killing
Billings almost instantly
