Dear 'V'.S. -

It grows warmer and warmer and
the calmest laziest sea I have every been
on. We get in at 5.30 this evening - an
hour and a half late - I dont know
just what the trip will bring forth.
I hope the foundation is laid for a good
deal more confidence in you - and in
other people.

I believe I have a new lead, I
am begining to think that her suspicion
comes from talking to people who come
down on the boat from Nome - who warned
her against newspapers - photographers
explorers - and the human
race in general.
A very poor piece of business
I think.

It came to my attention this way -
In S.F. the photographers were there
from papers - and reporters - she
at once fled - to her state room and
locked the door. and "refused to be
interviewed" - a photographer later
got Bennett in the sand pile a
(good picture at that) and as we
walked up the street to the Ferry Bldg
there was the paper on the stand. Not knowing
there was a story in it I bought
the paper.

I had talked a few minutes to
Mr. Dreyer who was on the Seattle
Times
now on the S.F. Herald,
- told him her destination - and that
you had given her the trip on account of
Bennetts illness - for that he,
withouth seeing Ada made up a
two column story - when Ada
