We're all killed by Crozier and his comra1y.-
How many Indians died he did not know but
there were good many. This story he tod
to the cousin who took care of Crozier and
the few men with him after he found them.-
IL was after this fight with the Indians that
the men starved and froZ6 to death-and then
Crozier and three men lived with their cousin.
NO Kob-lu-na was killed when this fight oc-
CURED with the Indians. Crozier told their
cousin that all the men were dead but himself
and three men. Crozier told their cousin of
a brig named Vrat, that he and his men had
lived in, in very cold weather; that many of
the men starved and froze to death. Their
cousin told them (my informers) of several

found them-moving on the ice, having along
with him team of dogs, sledge and his fami-

ice. The cousin then heard that the three
men were tat because they had been eating
the flesh OF their companions, who had died
frUm freezing and starving. Crozier was so
poor and nearly starved because he would not
eat human flesh. The cousin gave quick as
he could to Crozier very little piece of seal

men who were with Crozier, because they had
been eating human flesh and were fat.
Captain Hall explains that the Innuits have
superstition that il one were to give raw
seal to one whose last food had been human
flesh, he would never be able to catch anoth-
er seal.
