The natives say they've | found foreign traps and strange | footprints on many islands, but no- body gets close to them.” Reposing in the cabin of the Martha is a glass fish net float. Asked if it were a Japanese float, Pickard replied in a matter of fact tone, “Oh yes. There are thousands of those in the islands and lots of big ones.” On reaching Unalaska, the Martha will only stop long enough to augment its Aleut native crew \and will then continue on to Attu with a load of groceries for the Aleutian Fur Trading Company store. 1 A UG Lode and place: location notices for sale at The Empire Office. .
