sKILLFUL CARVING.
The Flesh Was Removed from the Bodies in

The Flesh Was Removed from the Bodies in
a Worl1nan-Like Manner.
NEW York, Aug. 16--Until the ieaJh of DIR.
Pavey, of the Greedy party, June G, the flesh cut
from most of the bodies was removed by hand
skilled in dissection few of the bodies had
the fleshy portions cut away entirely, but with
the majority the work had been SO well done
that casual observer would not have suspected,
without other eyidenee-of which there was
plenty, however-that the survivors had been
reduced to eannibalism, and for long time
been subssting principally on the bodies Of their
dead comrades.
II is not coincidence that the body of DR.
Pavey, with those of two others who died after
him. should be reported as washed away. With
Surgeon Pavey gone, the scalpel could not be
used. Before the bodies mad been
left with little mark of the terrible work done
member the bodies, and den1tle them Of flesh in
fortunates were reported as buried in an ice foe
and washed away.
On most of the bodies the scalpel was passed
under the skin, the lap laid back the flesh re
moved, the skin pulled back in place. and the
edges joined so that there was no external evil
dence of the work. No one in the party, except
the surgeon could so skillfully remove the flesh,
and leave the skin intact. How Pavey met his
death has not been explained, but it was prob
ably by the knife With him gone. and every
day the pangs of hunger growing more unbear-
able. the caution was relaxed and the survivors
ate of human flesh however they could easiest
secure it In the last days, before relief came,
all sense Of honor and Of feeling had been lost.
