By follow- ing this trail down it will lead you to the place. It is not more than a mile to the house at the head of the island. D. Smith.” There were two other undated notes to the same effect. Another note was found fastened to a board in the house behind the door, dated March 4, 95. “Would any person come down right away for God’s sake and given us help, for our legs are badly swollen from eating rabbits, and we can hardly leave the bed. Will pay money, gold, or flour to anyone who will lend us assistance. Do not let anything stop ‘you from coming down as we will pay all expenses. By following this trail right down to the river it will lead you to the house at the head of the island. (Signed) R. J. Smith.” In the house was found a good supply of everything.
