five natives, who started in whale boat
for the new gold fields at Moubara from
Samouria. The officers of the Titus. who
were at Port Jackson on the 18th of Oc-
tober, report that ii Is their opinion that
the first party of whites was massacred at
Bourgainville by the head hunters, or on
the coast directly across the straits. The
Titus fell in with the revenue cutter Lilly
Rock which was also cruising on a search
for the party, and learned from Captain
Oates. of that craft, that the Investigation
instituted by the government officers
proved beyond shadow of doubt that the
gold hunters had put ashore to pitch camp
on the beach, had been betrayed by their
native guides. killed and PROBABLY eaten.
A Winchester rifle and revolver were
found in native village and the weapons
were identified as the property of the 81 Il
hunters. Later ii was learned that lne
gold seekers whale boat was in the pos
session of a chief on one of the Soiomons,
and that various other property of the
proSpectorS was scattered among the coast
villages of the islands. The white men
were undoubtedly butchered and ii is sur
