April 7, 1888 [DAC]: “Los Angeles, April 6. It has been learned that on the 10th of March the body of an unknown man was washed up on the beach of San Clemente Island, about seventy-five miles from the mainland. The body was naked and was much mutilated and decayed. It was covered with holes, which may have been made by seabirds. Some Indian children found it. It is supposed that the remains were those of a sailor from some passing ship.”
