ALASKA BOY MAKING
 TRIP SEARCHING F0R
 HONDURAS TREASURE

It is a far cry from Seward, Alaska, to Spanish Honduras, in Central | America, but that is the distance tray eled by Grit Holman, former Seward
 guide and son of Dad" Holman Of Seward, in his search for wealth. The young man left the northland some time ago and in letter to his brother Chet, he gives a good description of
 the country he is travelling ln. By permission of Dad" the letter, which
 will be of interest to Crits friends, is published:
 Aboard the Good Ship Fl Mundo, in
 Brewers Lagoon, Spanish Hondu- ras, Central America.
 Dear Chet: This being the last epistle I will pen for some months, l
 | will make it general. We left Ceiba
 on this yawl 35 feet over all, with
 Carlos as captain and crew, and set
 sail into the open Caribbean sea. One day out we made Roitan island and
 spent two days there, one in digging about in an old pirate cave, and the
 othe. around their old forts and pris on. We then struck out for Truxillo, where old Chris Columbus first set foot ashore. I was just as glad as MT, Columbus to get behind the sandsplt, for it blew gale and altho we had two reefs in the mailsail, the boat took solid water aboard continusuosly. The next two days were spent in beating up the coast in heavy swell and lgh' wind. These Carlos know the waters but can't handle a boat to windWaTd. Cant Brown and I sleep on deck and get wet every night, but that IS pret- erable to the bugs and foul air below. Yesterday we sighted the bar at the entrance to the harbor, and also lots of loggerhead turtles, seacoWs (man- atees) and sharks. After beating all day we crossed the bar safely inside
 this lagoon, which is about 20 miles long bv eight miles wide. Near the entrance are three small islands fort1- fled by early pirates. There are three cannon on one, from which the island takes it's name. Just as l thought we were safe inside, which was ten min utes ago, a squall and rain came up and nearly capsized us. The skipper l,et everything go-anchor, Jib, and mainsail-just in time. Now we are
 barely drifting along trying to make
 the upper end of the lagoon.
 Of all the hard places to get into, this is the mist inaccessible, and, l might add, the most expensive. don't blame the country for remaining un- developed It is fine for the country people who live on turtles. pigs, fruits and p1antains-the last named when take the place of potatoes and are large species of banana. Cocoanuts furnish the milk and turtles the eggs. Here we buy pitpan, or native ca noe. and start up the Patuca river.
 will be glad to get away from these natives and rely upon my own ability | to handle a boat again.
 | It will be useless to write me as we
 will be along a river which is not trav- eled by white men at all and by very
 few savages.
 I must not forget the mention the
 mosuuitoes as they are big and heal
 thy This is known as the Mosquito
 Coast" and it is properly named.

The states attorney this morning
asked the newspapers OF the county
10 make an appeal for every person
who travelled over the Dimmick hill
road between and 1880 o'clock on
Saturday night TO reveal themselves
TO him at once He hopes that by In,
terviewing these travellers he will be
able to learn whether any suspicious
looking autos passed them, or whether
they noticed any ears stalled along
the road
RE also asked that anyone having
car trouble, or knowing OF any cars
stalled along the highway, would re.
port to him at once. Mr. Kelly stated
that report had been made of two
men having stalled auto about fifty
feet west Of the top of Dimmick hill
at $40 on Saturday night.
These men. he stated, might have
either been bandits, or might have
been law abiding citizens just having
ear trouble One, he declared, Is said
to have been WORKING with a blow
torch at the rear Of the car and the
ether dan.ing along the side of the
auto as though cold. when Joe Wells
CT La Sale passed along. The man AT
the side of the car made an effort to
stop Wells Mr. Kelly stated today
that he believed this might either
have been to get aid or to have stop
ped Mr. Wells and hold him up. He
stated th1t If these men were law
abiding citizens they would probably
report to him in a day or two and
clear up the mystery of the stalled
car. ana ii they did not report imme-
dately they would be held under su,-
pcions as the murderers.
His theory in asking everyone who
passed along the highway to report
to him Is that by these reports he viii
be able to find out what time the
stalled car left the hill, and If there
were other stalled machines in that
neighborhood during the evening
These people can either write or phone
in their names or can call at his office,
They are also asked in sending in
their names to tell what time thew
passed up the hill and ii they noticed
any stalled or suspicious looking autos.
Sheriff Welter and his aids have
bean making search for the two men
in the stalled car since learning of
their appearance on the hill, but have
been unable to locate them.
