Indian jumped forward, gouged out Majica's eyes with his bare hands, and then drew a knife and cut off his tongue. The Indians then did a war dance round their victim and disappeared into the jungle.
Probably no one will ever find) out exactly why Mojica was murdered, but those who know the history of the San Blas have their own theory.
The natives aro generally a quiot, and peacoable tribe, who demand one thing only from the white men surrounding them. They insist that the San Blas blood shall remain pure. No San Blas woman may ever boar children of mixed blood. This law has been enforced by the doath penalty for hundreds of years, so that to-day the blood of the tribe is probably the purest of any race on earth.
