“God sheltered me and camouflaged me against the coast guard and the navy,” John Allen Chau wrote before he was killed last week on North Sentinel Island. When a young boy tried to hit him with an arrow on his first day on the island, Chau swam back to the fishing boat he had arranged to wait for him offshore. “I DON’T WANT TO DIE,” wrote Chau, who appeared to want to bring Christianity to the islanders. The police and the coast guard had carried out an aerial survey of Northern Sentinel Island earlier in the week. Officials typically don’t travel to the North Sentinel area, where people live as their ancestors did thousands of years ago.
