SAN DIEGO.
Preparations for an Exploration Of the
Cannibal Islands

SAN DIEGO, Feb. A San Fran
cisco dispatch says that the schooner
H. C. Walborg, that during the recent
Hawaiian revolution sailed for the Sand
wich islands with a cargo of arms and
ammunition for the rebels, has been
sold recently and is being fitted out
for more peaceful cruise. When the
Smithsonian institution decided to send
an expedition to explore the Gulf Of
California and it's shores, arrangements
were commenced to purchase a vessel
for the use of the explorers. The schoon-
er is now fitting out for this cruise.
Prof. Anthony of San Diego will be in
charge, and with him will be Prof Nc
Gregor of Stanford university, botan-
ist, and Henry 3. Reading, an ornith-
ologist. The expedition will be in the
gulf about six months, and in that time
the explorers expect to visit Tiburon
island, which has frequently been re-
ported to be inhabited by cannibals.
