IN THE JEANETTE COURT
this morning Engineer Melville continued
the account of the search for DeLong and
party. a large audience was present. The
was very pathetic and the
speaker told his story in straightforward
way. He gave details OF the discovery Of
the party frozen to death on the banks OF
the Lena river. The attention OF the search
ers was first attracted by poles sticking out
of the snow. Upon seeing these poles
sticking out of the snow the party ad;,
yanced few steps, when they saw hand
reaching out Of the snow, which afterwards
proved to be Belongs. The rest of the
party then discovered the remains of n
fire near them and evidences
that the unfortunate men were
trying to remove their effects with
the supposed view OF getting away
vile said they evidently recognized
the fact that if they died near the banks of
the river the bodies would be carried away
by wolves. Melville examined belongs
journal found near where his body laid.
The bodies were all frozen to the ground,
but as soon as discovered were pried up,
rolled together and covered with q tent
cloth. 1t was found when Am bler's body was
turned that he clutched DeLong's pistol.
From this Melville drew the inference that
belong died before Amber and that the
latter had taken the pistol to keep oil am
mails. Melville gave directions to have the
bodies taken out of the snow and placed in
a hut near by. He also directed those re-
moving the bo lies to be very careful to pre-
serve any articles found on their bodies.
