much to do to defend themselves from the
sudden attack in the rear to think of renew
ing the assault, and the youth knew well
enough how to make good use of the inter-
val.
With loud cheer to his gallant clansmen,
he kept up a dropping fire on the enemy with
musket and gun, until, CALLED on both Sides
they fairly took to their heels and plunged
once more into the moat.
How many came out of it and escaped his
tory does not record; but they left of their
number under the walls of Singleton Towers
twenty men dead or wounded.
1t was a proud moment when the young
laird flung open the great gate and let his
comrades in.
The leader of the party was Tam, who had
implored the general of the kings forces
whom fortunately they had met on the way
to the rendezvous, to be allowed to return,
if only for few hours, to share his young
laird's peril.
The request had been granted, and with 6f
teen men the delighted Tam had spurred back
to Singleton as fast as their horses could car
ry them. Falling Unexpectedly on the enemy's
rear, they had brought about the panic which
had saved the castle and rescued the young
chief from his perilous position.
This was the first but by no means the last
fight In which the young laird of Singleton
bore a part He grew old in warfare, and
ended his days at last ON the field of battle.
But to the day of his death this memorable
night-watch ON Singleton Towers was ever
the achievement about which he liked best
to be reminded.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-07-15

tually. In vain Singleton piled his weapon
with deadly effect; in vain he dislodged and
hurled down upon them one of the massive
coping stones of the east terrace As fast
as the foremost fell back, dead or wounded,
others swarmed up. 1t was we'll for Singleton
no attempt was made on any other part but
this assailable buttress, and even this was
scaled at last.
The young laird had stepped back hurried
ly to load his weapon, when he suddenly saw
head appear above the battlements; and
the next moment fierce Lowlander sprang
on to the terrace.
With the butt end of his weapon, Singleton
felled him, while at the same moment Jupi-
ter, who had closely followed his master flew
at the throat of the man next to him, who
was also springing on to the wall
1t was narrow escape, indeed, and but
for the dog the castle might after all have
been lost. Once more the youth cleared the
buttress, and this time with such deadly ef-
feet that the enemy halted a moment before
resuming the attack.
This short breathing space was unutterably
valuable to Singleton, for it gave him time
not only to load several muskets, but to bring
one of the smaller cannon into position SO as
to almost cover the weak point.
This precaution, however, as it turned out,
was not requisite; for just as the enemy was
returning with redoubted ierceness and de-
termination to the attack, there was shout
from the wood, and cry of Singleton to
the rescue!
Well did the young chief know that cry
In another moment the MaeFies had too

The M9hfwafth on Singleton Tower

He could not resist triumphant cheer at
this success, which was promptly answered
by defiant shout from the enraged MacFies
as they set spurs to their horses and rushed
toward the moat
And now began the hard work of the night.
For the foe thought nothing of such mar
row obstacle as simple ditch. Some swan
it on horseback, and some left their animals
behind, but all-all except two whom Single
tons trusty muskets had found out crossed
in safety. The raid they made on the great
gate was something terrific, and Singleton s
heart trembled within him as he heard it
creak before their united weight. But he
worked away as steadily at his post, always
taking care not to expose himself, yet never
wasting a shot with bad aim.
The enemy very soon quilted the gate, and
took to the more formidable work of attempt
ing to scale the walls. And here Singeton's
power was tried to the utmost. For at one
part the ground sloped considerable distance
up one of the buttresses, which made the as
cent from below comparatively easy, and if
only the MacFies had been suitably equipped
for an assault, they could not have failed TO
carry the place with ease
But happily for Singleton, they had come
very ill-prepared, evidently expecting to walk
into defenseless stronghold without blow;
and now they were not only disappointed,
but disconcerted.
Yet there was no keeping them down even

smaller and adapted for graspng with one

None was more than four inches in length,
and some were very much like balls-almost
perfect granite spheres, roughly hewn out,
which might readily have been the toys of the
native children, although they could equally as
well have been used as seed or grain grinders.
All the implements or weapons Of the native
Californans were of the rudest kind and
formed of shell or stone, as shown in the re-
markable finds at Catalina, Santa Barbara and
numerous localities along shore; but before
referring TO them in detail some reference
to these ancient people will perhaps be in
teresting.
The questions who the early Californians
were, where they came from, and the cause Of
Their disappearance, are replete with interest.
the others are still open to discussion.
The first information we have of extreme
Southern California comes from an expedition
Los Angeles herald., 1906-07-15

To make the plan success, he carried
priests to convert the natives, and soldiers and
negro slaves to enforce the principles of Chris
tianity If necessary.
For over a century the Spaniards endeav-
ored to conquer and settle the country, but
they were ultimately driven away, and not
until one hundred and sixty years later were
the Jesuit missions firmly established.
A great difficulty in determining the ances-
try Of these people is found in the fact that
they differed greatly among themselves. In
other words, the country seemed to be neu.
tral ground, where many totally different
natives or tribes met.
This is shown 10y the record Of Father Bos-
cana, who was pastor of the San Juan Capis-
trano Mission for thirty years. At the be
ginning of the present century he stated that
"the diversity of language is so great in Cali
leagues you find distinct dialect, so different
that in no way does one resemble another
The natives of San Diego, for instance, can
Los Angeles herald., 1906-07-15

to the old records, the Spaniards found the
natives entirely different from any they had
yet seen. They were friendly at times, but
aggressive when they considered that their
rights were being infringed upon, and in one
difficulty they had they killed the commander
of the expedition.
The story told by this party so interested
Cortez that the following year he led an expe-
dition himself, and made determined effort
to explore Lower California, which he sup
posed to be large island.

No! In few minutes the sound of the
advancing troops again rose in the night.
They came on at trot, dragging their gun
along with them. Presently there was a
gleam among the trees, and the next moment
some fifty hoIsemen appeared in view, with a
cannon in their midst, which, equally to Sin
gleton's satisfaction and surprise, they pro-
ceeded to get into position at the very en-
trance to the wood.
1t was on this spot, it will be remembered,
that the young laird had carefully leveied
the gun that surmounted the great gate.
Everything depended now on the skill with
which he had aimed it, He gave the foe a
minute or two to fix and point their weapon,
and once more carefully calculated the poise
of his own.
Then, just as they were proceeding to load,
and the horsemen were preparing to follow
up the attack on the gate, he applied the
match and with a mighty roar the piece dis
charged.
1t was an anxious moment while the smoke
slowly cleared away. When it did, he had
the 10y of beholding the enemy's gun on end

three of the enemy themselves involved in
the same disaster.

Such condition of things renders the work
Of the ethnologist one of extreme difficulty.
Some claim that the native population was of
Asiatic origin, and came to America by way
that they reached California by the way of the
Polynesian Islands, and were of the Malay
type. Be this as it may, when this section
was first discovered, it was inhabited by a
large and populous race of natives, that have

Some distance to the left, at brigade
