During the night a native of the Wirra tribe had died without first being long and seriously ill, which is why I never came to know about it. In the morning all his compatriots expressed their condolences to him with loud lamentations and then carried out the usual interactions and examinations with him, during which I discovered that the Kadliadli mentioned on the 5th of this month is always the deceased's closest relative. By the way, the natives thought they had discovered today that a certain distant man was the murderer in this case. This can be recognized when the Kadliadli walks around when his name is mentioned and then walks away.

Even today, daggering was described to me more closely and clearly; According to the natives, the murderer sneaks up to a person when these is sleeping, gently lifts up the blanket, and plunges his dagger deep and upward into the abdomen, slowly withdraws it and closes the wound again so that it is not noticeable. But the consequence of this is that, because the lung is injured, the wounded person dies later. --

Please, O Jesus, let the light of your gospel shine quickly on this people who are immersed in darkness and superstition. Amen.
