route to lake to the lake. Hraslg
warned 111 in against the trip, but
waa convinced the man Intended
to go anyway, ao advised him to
follow the telephone line which had
been lining up to the lodge In 1008.

advice because Ihe aearch party
sent out to look for him en me upon

proximately a mile from the rim of
the crater. Hut Bakowskl waa mint

Mra. Odell'a father, H. E. Mom

time. He and W. P. Aranl, park
superintendent, and Hraalg, were
the aearch party that went looking
lor Bakowskl In March. 1011. They
found the camp. In the worda of
Hraslg, " . . . directly under the
telephone line he had been directed
by me to follow, waa hla camp. My
thought were at thin time that he
had npent but one nlghl In that
place. Hla garment were all hung
over a rope stretched between two
trees."
Both Mra. Odell and Heaslg are
certain neither of the man'a cam

conclusion of He.Mlg that he met

photographer. But It doesn't clear
up the mystery of what happened
to him. That'a one puwJe that will
probably never be solved.
