English summary

Lukas family was worried because their child, Lukas, went missing. Families of Lukas searched and called for Lukas' name until night. Malie was shocked that they could not find Lukas' track. Before Lukas disappears, a child named Flip Lourens disappeared in the same kind of fog they did not found a trace of him. Elias lost his cool and said that bigfeet killed Flip as he knew the forest well himself. Anna and the men went back at midnight to continue the search. Martiens told Malie and Sofie to make a big fire in the middle of the Island so if the child were to see the glow, he would go back. However, it was in vain. Seven months later, in August 1865, a forester told Elias that parts of a skeleton that might have belonged to a child had been found but Elias said it could only be part of a baboon's skeleton.
