GREELY | KAT M8,WAS THE FRENZIED CRY OF A RESCUED SURVIVOR—THE STORY SPECIALLY DENIED BY SOME OF THE RELIEVING PARTY THE BODIES PERFECT BUT EMACIATED

The New York Times of the 12th inst., says that documents in the possession of the Navy Department add to the record of miserable human suffering already publish- ed in connection with the finding of the Greely expedition. Most shocking stories of inhumanity and cannibalism are told. Fer the sake of humanity and the American people the army authorities are endeavour- ing to keep the matter hushed, but in the investigation which is almost sure to come the facts will . undoubtedly come out. The object in shipping the bodies

L. ARTHUR & CO, | GENERAL Commission Merchants, | 421 ATLANTIC AVENUE,

and having travelled over a considerable

have some idea of how it compares with the | eastern Provinees. And I give it as my | opinion that we have NO WHERE SUCH RICH SOIL

as lies abundantly around us here, neither encumbered with sticks, stumps, or stones The water is not as good as is generally found east. The golimate is on the whole to be preferred here;a little colder perhaps in winter, some warmer ip suminer, but much drier in the season when rain is not needed; no long drizzles in the autumn. To the young man commencing life, or to the man with a large family, anxious to have them settle near him, this country has advan- tages that 1 know not of east. Grain or stock raising can both be pursued with exceptional advantages here.

Iwas staying last night at the house of a map, who has been six years in the country. He has now in addition to a fair

crop of grain in prospect, a hundred head of horn cattle, sixteen horses, ten large hogs, some sheep, and pigs that I did not count; and I think when he arrived here,he had little or no capitai. In winter time he feeds about a load of hay per day, this hay he cuts from the prairie all around him, to obtain which he never spends an _ hours labor, until he arrives on the spot with his mowing machine. And his time for making hay, will Jast from the last week in July, till the frost kills it in autumn. To judge of the quality of this hay, one has only to look at his stock, sleek and fat. Inthe evening, some thirty oxen from a neighboring farm joined this herd, and getting the smell of a lately slaughtered bulleck’s hide, such a roaring, running to and fro with tails erect—pawing of the ground, with an occasional fight by way of variety—has not been seen, | judge, since the buffalo disappeared from these plains. To give you some idea of the

RAPIDITY WITH WHICH VEGETATION MATURES

here, let me give you an instance occurring in my own neighbour's garden. Having some spare ground, on the 6th of July he planted some potatoes. [saw them on the 7th of August and several of them were in blossom. 1 have in my own garden lettuce that in three weeks from the time when its largest leaf was not much bigger than a willow leaf, it was headed up like a small variety of cabbage, and this where I do not know that there ever was a forkfull of man- ure.

Accompanied by Mrs. C., I drove, some two months ago, to Brandon. ‘The route I took was about one hundred and fifty miles across the country,over rivers through rivers, winding sometimes among wooded hills, skirting broad patches of scrub, lingering often beside emall lakes fringed to the water's edge with asper and willow; sometimes with a splendid trail smooth and pleasant to drive upon; sometimes with no track or trace that human foot had pre- ceeded us,keeping our course as the mariner does at sea. Most of the country passed over was

GRAND TO LOOK UPON,

Like that which tempted Lot from Abra- ham’s side. The picture of some of those scenes will linger long to the mental eye of some that saw it first under a bright June sky, and the odor caught from a thousand flowers, exhaling their sweets upon the breeze, will remain among the pleasant recollections of a life time. Here is beauty for the artist, game for the sportsman, wealth for the farmer.

I have not had the opportunity, as I had hoped when [ wrote you last to visit the lands held by the ‘‘Temperance Col- ony,” but I have heard from 4 minister who has travelled over some of it and is now settled at Saskatoon (its capital,) that it is very good. Lying along the South Saskatchewan, gently undulating with some wood and not farirom coal. I judge from reports; (I know nothing by personal inspection yet) that it is a desirable country to settle in,

Yet, after all, sir, if a man is comfort- ably settled in P. E. Island, and contented, I am not the one to advise him to break up old associations and come to this new country. But if he feels that he must leave to have wider verge and scope. I know of no better place where he can do better than here, and | have seen the best of North America.

the rescuing party discovered the half-

‘portion of Southern Manitoba, I think {'starved survivors, their first duty was to

look to two men who were insensible from euld and privation. One of them shrieked, as the sailors took hold of him, *‘Don’t let them shoot me, as they did poor Henry. Must I be killed and eaten as Henry was? Don’t let them do it, Don’t, don’t !” After brief investigation, Schley felt that the man was speaking the truth, and that the men who perished, had been stripped of their flesh to keep their comrades alive. Schley instructed two or three gentlemen, among them the doctors and surgeons of the Bear, to make a careful examination, and put their conclusions in writing. This wasdone. The bodies were dug from their graves back of the permanent camp, established in October, 1883, but it was found that most of the blankets contained nothing but heaps of white bones, many of them picked clean. Schley discovered that many of the [7 men who were said to hare perished from starvation, were eaten by their famishing comrades. It is reported that the only men who escaped the knife, were three or four who died from scurvy The amputated limbs of the men who after- wards perished, were eagerly devoured as food. Chas. B. Henry was shot for steal- ing rations. When his body was found, the hands and face though shrunken, were in- tact, but nearly everywhere else, the skin had been stripped from him, and the flesh picked from his bones. Even the heart and lungs were eaten. Fragments of human flesh were used as bait for shrimps. Some

‘of the relief ships scout the idea of can-

nibalism. Others admit that the bodies were shocking to look upon, but attributed it to storm and ice. ‘l‘he eating story they believed it to be a sailor’s yarn. Schley refuses to say anything until an official en- quiry is made.

COMMANDER SCHLEY DENIES THE

STORY.

The N. Y. Commercial says that Com- mander Schley was shown a statement published in the Times this morning that Greely and his men had eaten the dead bodies of their comrades. He distinetly denied the whole story. Said he: ‘* There is no foundation for it whatever. The Times man calied vpon me with the story, and would not take my denial for an answer. Consequently | ordered him off. The Thetis’ third officer, Colville, he stated, with one other, dug up the bodies.” He refused to state whether they betrayed signs of cannibalism. The story that Schley and Emory prepared the dead bodies for burial is untrue. Dr. Ames and Grace did the work alone. None of the scamen were present. According to the officers’ state- ments, at the time the bodies were dug up they were given the bodies to carry down hill after they were wrapped in blankets. The sailors on the other hand say they took the bodies out of the graves. Schley said the story that Henry was shot was untrue. He believed Henry died, as all the others did, of starvation and scurvy.

A FLAT CONTRADICTION,

A Washington despatch says that the report about cannibalism amongst the Greely party, is a newspaper sensation and nothing more. The Schley-Emory relief expedition was accompanied by Mr. C, H. Barlow, of Washington, a photographic artist, who took the photographs of both the dead and the survivors of the Greely arty, and these pictures are at the Navy Department at Washington. The caskets contained the bodies of the dead as shown by the photographs. As to Dr. Pavy, Sergt. Rice, and the other two who died, they were interred in the ice fort and their remains wero washed avway by the rising waters ata period when Greely and the survivers were supplied with fvod, and, therefore, cannibalism was unnecessary. The period of suffering for food came after- wards, and the photographs of the dead show that their remains were intact. MORE DENIALS.

Dr. Ames denied in every particular the story that the dead had been devoured,

Tom Maloney, the seaman who helped lift the bodies vut of the graves, said the bones had not been picked, hut the flesh was all shrunk up, and the skin drawn over the bones like parchment. James Francis, the machinist, who helped to put the bodies in alcohol, said that they were perfect, ex- cepting that they were euiaciated, and the skin drawn tightly over the bones. The only imperfect body was that of Lieutenant Kislingbury, the head of which appeared badly decayed, from the fact that he had been dead longer than the others. Several other members of the relief crews corrobor- ated these statements, while some refused to talk on the subject. —— <>. oe
