“TRAGEDY OF THE (FIRST BOCA.” 97 
Guard over it as the inhabitants of Hart’s'Cut have not 
eaten fish for a fortnight. The sergeant in charge informed 
us that, acting with his usual promptitude, Captain Saunders 
had ordered Captain Edmund to put the ‘‘Paria’’ into com- 
mission for an excursion at reduced rates to view the fish. 
The steamer, he thinks, will leave the Lighthouse Jetty, at 
9.30 to-morrow (Wednesday) morning. 
Scotland Bay, 
11.40 P. M., Tuesday. 
There is much rejoicing here, as the heroic Galgitt and 
his men have just been brought in by a boat that was com- 
ing up from turtle fishing at La Pefia. The doctor has exam- 
ined Galgitt’s wound. The monster’s beak went deep into 
the fleshiest part of the veteran, but, fortunately has not 
injured any vital organs, and he is doing well. It appears 
that the reflex action of the huge ground swell had practically 
sucked the four oarsmen and Galgitt up into the famous 
Guachero Caves at L’Anse Cabritt. This accounts for their 
disappearance from the sight of the others. They passed a 
mauvats quart d’heure in the cave, but there was plenty of 
that best styptic for wounds, salt water. About 7 A. M., the 
passing boat heard their shouts and rescued them. Univer- 
sal joy is great, and the Taitron Bay stringed band is now 
serenading at Scotland Bay.
