"I think that this skeleton is certainly that of another young German from Dresden," she said.

"This young man refuacd assist- ence of every kind from the act- tlers and ventured into the in- terior of Santa Cruz Jaland in spite of the warnings of those who never saw or heard of him again.

VANISHED INTO INTERIOR

"He did not even enrry a com- pass with him. He struck off into the interior-and vanished. We never saw or heard of him again.

"But although I am no certain that this skeleton la not Phillip son, I am equally convinced that Phillipson, Lou, is dead. One day perhaps his remains will bo found."

It is, not two years since Dr. Frederic Ritter, a German who founded the now famous naturo colony on Charles Island, in the Gainnaros Group, saw the peace of his domain unset by the arrival of Baroness Eloise de Wagner.

The Baroness, who came from Paris, made herself "Empress" and it was anld, ruled like a despot.

"But I still have my task before me. That task is to convince the world of the value of the work we. did in the Galapagos. To do that I may have to return to the Islands ....I am not sure yet. I am a woman waiting for the facts to face me.

"For that reason I do not lay my plans too far ahead.”

"These elephants, now total- ling some 4,500, have been al- lowed to breed unchecked for the last ten years, and thero an increasing tendency for them to thrust further south into populous Buganda."

A severe Incas, followed by d form of paralysis, has left her with a limp.

"Since my return, I have spent my time quietly in the study of animals. I came to understand them in the Galapagos, and I still continue those studies," she said..

"Soon I hope to lecture abroad on Dr. Ritter's life and the ideals which he attempted, to put into practice in the Galapagos."

The elephants were driven back. But will they forget the rich lands of the south? Elephant wastage for the year, the report says, was 2,500, but there are still 20,000 in Uganda..
