Narrative continues: Removal of the boilers and iron from the Japanese camp. These will be used to make spearheads, a process already described by the author when in Newcastle Waters (NT) (see page 80 Vol 1). [Frederick Harold] Gray (1899-?) sets out [20 September 1932] to sail to Darwin calling in at Millimgimbie Mission [26 September 1932] on Crocodile Island. At Cape Arnhem he landed two Australian Aboriginal men to search the coast to Millimgimble for Kinju and the Australian Aboriginal men who had escaped. Further notes that Gray did not invoke the law of salvage and deliver the boat to the Receiver of Wrecks but instead returned the boat to the owner the Keppert Brothers. Realising his error Gray, later, sued the Keppert Brothers.
