A man named Kunko was shot ‘in an outrageous manner’ by a European. Kunko escaped uninjured and immediately informed missionary and interpreter Clamor Schürmann. The European was arrested, and the Governor and Advocate General made it clear to Driver (the Government Resident at Port Lincoln) that such ‘wanton acts of cruelty’ must be prevented.
