Why don't some of the feature
writer's get themselves a good
story by interviewing Explorer
Hendrix de Leeuw, just back from
q Jungle expedition in Neither
landic Guiana? He brought back,
among other things-a couple OF
bowling balloons, a rare jungle
spider "a Sackiewinkie)-and a
case of malaria. Also a protest
at the expeditions still being car
ried on to discover the missing
Redfern. De Leeuw has this to
say: It discovered that the Red
fern disappearance in the Guiana
forests has caused lot of incon-
venience to bonafide explorers
and scientists. UnScrupulous ex-
ulorers have seen in this Redfern
incident a marvellous opportunity
for securing American hackers,
in what is commonly known in
the GuianaS as a wild goose chase
and hunger after sensational pub
licity. With the result that one
man (an AmericanO lost his life
another still owes the Neither
landic Guiana government many
hundreds of dollars for native
services rendered, while still an
other American explorer-at one
time much in the newS-Should
think twice before honoring the
Guianas with another of his
visits. And yet-the Redfern
hunt keeps up, because a few
weeks ago, another American. an
aviator, set out for the Guiana
jungleS again to look for Redfern
who many years ago came to grief
with his plane and has never
been heard of since. 1t is about
time people over here realized
that Redfern is gone and that
most attempts so far to find him
have been publicity stunts for
which the gullible puts up the
cash."
