the 1797 recovery expedition resolving the 1795 Mission Dolores massacre — Amador's expedition made the Spanish arms respected by the 'indios Socalanos [Sacalan] y gentiles'; recovered 83[/58?] Christians of all ages/sexes + captured 9 Gentiles who took part in the killing of the SF Indians 'á fines de 95'; 9 Gentiles killed for not surrendering (Borica regrets it); the recovered Christians NOT to be punished by the friars ('los tratan bien… trabajos moderados'), the 9 gentile-killers held prisoner on the King's works pending inquiry ⚠️ (83 vs 58 = Savage discrepancy between the two abstracts)
