restrain that desperate crew from coming on and needlessly alarming the people
of the town.

threats of what they would have done to us if we had let them know that we were
coming, we loaded up the county records and property and brought them to Port
Angeles.

myself are apparently the only survivors.

me this story. It comes from a booklet titled
