	MOHAWK - VICTIM JULIUS PALMER Williams College yearbook memorial photograph of victim Julius Palmer. Palmer, who seems to have been Karl Osterhout's closest friend in the Yucatan Expedition, was 22 years old in January 1935. He was an enthusiastic yachtsman, and had sailed his own boat in the Bristol Yacht Club race. One wonders about the diary in which he was writing the last time Osterhout reported seeing him. Since he was taking the time to record his impressions of the early stages of the disaster, it is safe to assume he carried the book with him when he left the cabin after Osterhout. 1935 reports do not say whether the diary was recovered with his body, nor do they say that the diary was preserved by his family if it was found....
