Doctors summoned Rushed back to the i settlement, McInnis was immediately put to bed. Doctors were summoned and the work of nursing the young man back to normal health began. He wilil be under a doctor's care for several days and as yet none of his harrowing experiences has‘ been learned because of his mental con- dition. When found by the men he was wandering about the lumber yard, evidently seeking some way back to civilization. The lumbermen recog- nized him at once but could not understand his incoherent speech. The finding of the youth culmin- ated a search ‘which began on Fri- dfl-l? and employed. as many as 200 men. Missing Since Friday Mclnnis cams to this section of the country in search of work in the potato areas, and failin "in this. in company with a nun‘: ’ of other young men from PrinceEd- ward Island, went to Juniper where they found work in the woods.
