History

Named presumably by Commander R. W. Meade, U.S. Navy (USN), in 1869 because "traders occasionally anchor here and one small party, while asleep on the beach, were murdered by natives, their boat rifled and bodies left to be destroyed by wild animals." (U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, 1883, p. 131).
