WILD NATIVES "riiu. wmim , TA a

A strange story of two white women living on the shore of a big lake ‘in Central Arnhem Land in Australia is being told by wild na- tives. The natives say the white women live on the bank of a Cen- tral Arnhem Lake. and that when a native approaches they jiinzp into the water and stay there un- til he goes.

The story recalls that after World War I. the newspapers reported that two white women were iolp- posed to have survived the “wreck of tho Douglas Mawson in the Gulf of Caivpentaria, and to have ‘been cared for b)’ Arnhem Land natives. William Homer. tn his book North of 23. tells of his dis- covery c-f the remains of a lifebfiflt on which the initials “DM" were still visible. Harney took part of the wreckage to Darwin and Sus- tome examiners identified it as belonging to the Douglas Mawson.

I-Iarney recalls that anxiety over the fate of the two white women was responsible for a. series of expeditions to Arnhem Land. and many nativee were reported to have neon the women. They have described the women i-n detail, re- ferring to their long hair. These natives as far as ls known. have never seen a white woman with long hair.
