LEIGH SMITHS IDEA OF CANNIBALISM.
LONDON, August 15.-PaN .N,M publishes
an interview with Leigh Smith, the Arctic
explorer, in regard to the allegation that the
Greedy party was guilty of cannibalism.
Smith refused to express an opinion regard
ing the truth of the report. He said, how
ever,it was strange the survivors should have
been so weak and Frustrated if they had been
living on human flesh. Some time
he said starving men were not responsible
for their actions. He, himself, knew no
authentic cases Of cannabalism on part Of
Arctic expeditions. He, himself, had rather
die than eat human flesh. If men under
him were reduced to such straits as those in
which the Greedy party were found, he would
not sanction the drawing of lots to see who
should die that the rest might have food,
but if the men wanted to eat the bodies of
their comrades who had persisted he would
not interfere.
