because it had been tho home port of 1 the Jupiter, he could likely find men 1 available who knew the approximate !! place of burial.
 Thus it was that Aleck Bradford, superintendent Of the Cannery at
 Souaw Harbor, received the following letter:
 Doar Sir:
 Mrs. Peter Newhall, her uncle, Ned Stanhope. and myself are planning an expedition onto tho north coast Of the Peninsula with tho idea of eN- huming the body of Peter Nowhal, whom you will remember was a vic- tim of the wreck Of your launch the Jupiter. and bringing the remains back 10 tho family vault in this city.
 Our plan is 10 take one of the Pacific American Fisheries boats to your cannery and there, with your cooperation, we win hire a launch 10 transport us tho rest of the way 10 the scene Of the tragedy If you can help us in procuring launch and suitable crew, also in engaging men who might know the location Of the grave. it will be deeply anpro- ciatcd by Mrs. Newhall and myself
 Yours very truly,
 Ivan lshmin.
 Bradford called his assistant, Dc Long, and they thought upon the matter together. "The tough part of it is, by the time we can get @ wire to them, they'll have 10 rush to catch the last boat" Bradford said, glancing at his calendar ''The Catherine D sails carly in September they can make it if they get a move on--but how are they going to get back? Of course the Catherine will be back for the winter In Belling- ham before they can cncircle the peninsula. find the casket and get back here in a launch"
 De Long grinned chccrfuly. ''She probably hasn't the least idea what kind Of a hard -boiled land this is." He knitted his heavy broHs. "It will be easy about getting out, though You know we're scheduled to send the Warrior down to Seward this fell, on that new trap business. You've scheduled her to leave about the end of the fish season. Well. wo'll have her wait for the Catherine, and these ! three people can get on her--the lady can occupy one of the officers' rooms I guess. and Martin will 1 have 10 bunk in the hold. Then they can start out. and the Warrior can take time to run around tho Penin- ! sula. pick Up The casket. and go down 1 to Seward. Al Seward they can 1 A 4 | boats for Seattle"
 That's easy enough: perfect in l fact They can go down to Seward. ! you and I and the others down to ! Seattle on the Catherine. without . having 10 delay the schedule waiting for them to return. The matter Of getting suitable men for guides and i camp help is not quite go easy. but l believe I've got that, also. Fortune Joe is a good native--hc'iI be glad Of the chance 10 make some money and he's good worker"
 De Long srinncd. "Ths medicine 1 man. ehs They may need a medicine man before they get back. Yes. he's a good one-for one. Of course he . doesn't know inc location Of tho body"
 'No. For the other packer they'H need at least two. especially 1T they don't find the grave for somo l days-they can have their choice Of Buck Uman. Dago Scssa. or Nick . Pavlof. Buck Uman is honest. but he's the Iazicst native that walks. | sessa is given to violent spells when I he's apt to toss around his knife, and pavlof thinks he's a priest. l don't know which two Of the three are the worst l"
 aRut moi one Of the three you men tioned, AIecl. knows where the body lies. We've got to get some one Of Captain Johansen's crew for their main guide"
 And Captain Johansen and his crew have pulled out for BelinghaTn moi to return until next season. and besides. the original burial party is scattered to fhe four winds. Jacks. The apprentice undertaken. is in si- bcria. But De Long. I've got t. Send ono Of the papooses down to the Jocks to tell Lirnejuice Fete to come Bp here"
