Rolles Biddle’s employee Charles Tubbs was the sole survivor of an attack on Biddle’s hut. Tubbs stated that, around noon, ‘a number’ of ‘blacks’ gathered near the hut. They threw three spears at Fastings, which Biddle broke and threw in the pond. They were given a loaf of bread and took some potatoes. They returned one hour later, surrounded the hut and threw spears ‘in every direction’, wounding Fastings in the leg. Biddle fired at the group, after which the Europeans took refuge in the hut. One of the walls was broken down, and spears continuously thrown. Tubbs fired two shots, wounding Ngarsna in the leg and Nungalta in the stomach. Biddle, Elizabeth Tubbs and Fastings died of spear wounds before sundown.

On 23 June 1848, the mutilated body of John Hamp (hutkeeper for William Pinkerton) was found near his hut at Stoney Point. His hands, body and head were battered and a deep cut had been to the skull (over his left eye) by a sharp instrument. A saw was found inside the hut with hair, blood and brains on it. Dishes, pots and blankets had been taken from the hut. Tracks were found leading to the Lake, including the distinctive tracks of Mingalta. Mingalta and Malgalta were later arrested and charged with Hamp’s murder.

Eyre Peninsula man Mangalta was released from prison as he was suffering from dysentery. He recovered after two weeks in Moorhouse’s care while staying at the Aborigines’ Location. He pined for his home and friends and was in the process of being returned to Eyre Peninsula. He boarded the cutter the Petrel on 14 March but, due to springing a leak, the Petrel was delayed. Mangalta became despondent and low, and died off the coast near Cape Jervis.
