 Soon afterwards, apparently Coombs pulled his rifle over to him and killed himself.
 The first entry was dated Nov 23. It said they had been living on squirrels after their food supply ran out, that they had killed an occa- sional duck or grouse or wild canary and had burned gungus from trees in the hope of attracting the atten- tion of passing airplane.
 Had five grouse and small duck today Jan. 3O, our first taste ot food for days" the diary read. "The whole works hardly makes a meal for one man. saving some Squir- rel soup and duck bones for 8 breakfast.
 Both of us got so damn weak (Jan. 30) it was hard work to carry a pail of water or an armful O wood"
 Tt is useless to try to walk ou (to civilizatiom," said an undated entry. Water is too high. Our trou' ble was the fault of no one but our. selves"
 Provincial police said the diary indicated that Coombs took to his bunk on Feb. 9 and was able to get around but little thereafter.

 The next days entry said he hac caught more canaries, but I can think straight so don't know how many. This is the most hell either of us have been through"
 Two days before the final entry l Ryckman wrote that he was unable to leave his bunk.

 It was too late. Fog swirled day after day over the western coast O. the island and prevented an air. plane chartered by their worried relatives searching for them.

 London, April 3-(UP)-Germany has slammed and bolted her back and side doors and believes that the Allies must fight her on the western front where she is strong est.
 This is my interpretation of the speech of Field Marshal Hermann Goering, Nazi No. 2. It is contrary to the British press interpretation, which has head lines such as i've shall strike in the west" and i've must strike in the vest" attributed to Goering.
 A close reading of the text of GoeringS speech failed to bear out the idea that Goering had an- nounced Germany's intention of launching an attack on the western front.
 Rather Goering seemed to be boasting that Germany had circum- vented the Allied hopes of finding a battle-ground other than the western front, where Germany is most powerfully prepared.
