-just," their relatives said, "as
they would have yished."
The only explanation veteran
trappers could give for the mems
fate was that flood waters pre-
vented them from reaching food
supplies they had cached along
their trapline.
They said the 500 pounds Of
food the men had taken IN with
them was more than enough to
see them through II was pos

man distributed part Of their sup

by Ryckman, and finished by
Coombs.
The first instaiment began
Nov. rs, when their situation be-
came alarming and carried them
TO dan. 8, over cheerless hoIi-
days. The second told of their
experiences to Feb. Is. with
food becoming scarcer and no
sight of the plane they were
expecting to bring them food
supplies.
Today's finishes the pitiful
story, told In simple but dra-
matte language by the woods
men. In IL they are reduced to
catching and eating canaries.
Coombs takes to his bunk and
kyckman writes. Then Ryck-
man becomes too weak, and
Coombs resumes the narrative.
The last entry tells Of Ryck-
mans death. Coombs says he
himself Is too weak 10 say a
prayer for his pal. Sometime
after that he killed himself.
The final lnstalment starts
with:
