! While on a slouch afterward
.Jimmy heard shots but did not
see anyone. Itofore returning to
the village Jimmy saw two while
men in a boat pass di»wu, having
I with tlieui Alien and Crane's
dojrs. They said I lie do^s eaine
| to lheir ramp, nobody with lliein.
Five or six days after Allen and
Crane left the village to fro up the
Talaviksak Crane reappeared at
the village alone, and from that
day li> this the Jap has not hern
seen. Natives at. the village ask
ed what had heroine of Allen, and
were told that lie had fcone |n
Susilna over I he divide. The na

to Crane: "Hello, you've got the

it," answered Crone. Finnic rec

Cronevsoid he hod bought these
things too. The questions made
Crone nervous, ond he pushed his
boot off, saying he wa's fwiriK lo

I hey had gone away. The native

After Crane had lefl Ihe creek
