 Mrs. Waldeck was described as in- sistent that the party continue the two day trip up the river from Devils Hole Island to Warwah, where the expedition expected to find an American engineer with news of Redfern.
 Waldeck denied the report that his native boatmen brought back here when they abandoned his party. He said they had no reason to desert and denied that he had threatened to shoot them when the expeditions food supplies ran low.
 Because of the physical condition of the party no decision was made immediately as to whether to con- tinue to Warwah where the party had hoped to obtain a clue that would definitely settle the mystery of the aviator's disappearance.
