Heart of Darkness: Chapter 3

The Russian trader reveals that he has been traveling through the forest with Kurtz.  Kurtz apparently was ivory hunting and apparently threatened the Russian by telling him he'll kill him.  The trader said that he paid no attention to this because you have to get to know Kurtz to know what he's about.  Kurtz is now ill, and the Russian says that he was treating him but now he is out of supplies and cannot anymore.  The villagers say that tried all they could and now both the trader and the villagers do not know what to do to help Kurtz.  The Russian also reveals that Kurtz is the one who sent out the attack on the ship.
