Stump -
The direction indicated in the originalpost is the leading runner retreated to 2nd and then continued to the outfield. At no point does it indicate he turned towards first. If he had then you have him for travesty of the game(running the bases backwards) and can declare him out prior to his passing the trail runner. It is possible for more than one runner to be on a base at the same time without anyone being out. See Brooklyn Dodgers, 1953. It is only when a play is made that outs occur. There is only one legal occupant of a base when more than one is present.
