reported csnnibalism in the Greedy camp
has been proved beyond doubt, and
Lieut.. Greedy has officially reported the
shooting Of Lieut. Henry, the officers ol
the relief expedition still decline 10 atate
the condition Of affairs at the camp. The
ssiloB generally talk freely OF the ghasily
scenes there, but only three or four can
speak from actual knowledge OF the
condition Of the dead. In the inter.

day, he was reported as saying that Henry
WAS shot for stealing; that he was never
seen again by his comrades and it was un.
dorstood that his body was buried at the
foot Of an, ice foe and presumably carried
away by the waves. The bones found
near the camp and which the officers Of
the Bear patched up with pieces Of wood,

The crews and several officers Of the vessels
did not know! that Henry's remains were
brought back until they saw Schley's re.

lost and that Of Payy sayed. This point
