mulgated at the end Of tho month, after which

as self-preservation suggested the idea Of

aud pleasant. A few DAYS after, however,
heavy SHOWS, accompanied with intense cold
set in. which continued with but little inter-
mission for thirty or lorty days. during which
time bot little progress was made. AT length
their scanty stuck Of provisions gave out, aud
starvation seemed inevitable, for they were
at least two hundred miles in direct line
/ from the nearest settlement.
For six days, without particle Of food,
they continued their course down the river,
but made very little progress towards their
destination. Under these accumulated suf-
ferings the soldier named Cornell died. and
the others. TO appease their hunger. cut up
his bndy and eat his flesh. The following
night one OF the civilians died. and his body
was disposed &c in like manner. On the sue
ceeding night two more Of the civilians died
but as the party was discovered shortly after,
the living were spared tie necessity Of max.
ing and further meals upon the dead bodies
ol their companions.
They were found BY part Of Major Howe's
command, and whrn first discovered the,
