I have written a great deal more than I expected to write, when I began. And yet you have but a very brief narrative of my adventures in California. Yours truly, Frontier Desperadoes and Savage Ferocity. Original Friendliness of the Indians. The River Pirates, Culbert and Magilbray. Capture of Beausoliel. His Rescue by the Negro Cacasotte. The Cave in the Rock. The Robber Mason. His Assassination.
Thus every one of these robbers found a watery grave. Mr. Beausoliel had his property restored to him, and pressing all sail went on his way rejoicing. A few years after this, about the year 1800, there was a noted robber named Mason, who occupied what is called, "The Cave in the Rock." This renowned cavern was about twenty miles below the Wabash river.
Mr. Beausoliel had his earthly all in the boat, and he also expected that the pirates would take their lives. He was therefore ready to adopt any plan, however desperate, which gave any promise of success. We have the following account given in "The Great West," of the plan the negro formed and of its successful accomplishment.
There were two leaders of one of these large bands, by the name of Culbert and Magilbray, who, occupying commanding points, were carrying on a regular system of river piracy. In the year 1739, a merchant by the name of Beausoliel, had sailed from New Orleans, in a barge richly freighted with goods, bound for St. Louis.
