Murder of Captain Schwartz by Solomon Islanders Near Cape Marah
Reports from a Solomon Island coastal scene recount that Captain Schwartz and part of his crew were attacked while trading at Trader's Village. Schwartz was killed by natives who struck him with a tomahawk as a dispute over trade escalated. The vessel Leslie and crew fled the shore, one path to Sydney considered, while the body and camp were reported set alight. The incident lacks confirmation from independent sources.
