' A second case of the foolish use of firearms took plac« on board another vessel. In this instance, though several native women were greatly frightened by it, it was satis- factorily established that it was improbable ( ! ! ) that any more serious... result had been occasioned. ' Now these three reports put the thing very mildly. The use of firearms simply to frighten a few native women! Perhaps one woman killed ! Simply Curio's tampering with the native women !
