| NEW YORK, Aug. 15,--Thjrd officer
Kelly, Of the reliei steamer Bear, to-day
was asked if he had Rad tbs report
about the eating of th g flesh of Lieuten-
ant Kislingburv and private Henry.
Yes, ! read the reports, and they
are true"
Did you hear the survivors tell of
their eating the flesh of their dead COM
rade?"
When they came on board they
were all but delirious, and they then
told everything"
What did they say?"
They admitted that they had to eat
the dead bodies in order to preserve
their own lives, but I cannot 60 into
particulars, as such fact must 60 through
the regular channels
The reporter next saw one Of the cooks
of the Bear, and asked him If he had
heard any of the survivors tell about
eating their dead comrades flesh.
Yes, they told everything, and said
they had to eat the flesh of the dead, as
their food, all but q little leather or
sealskin, had given out"
Who told you this?"
They all told it,
Did they feel bad over the fact that
they were compelled to eat human
flesh?"
"Well, 1 can't say they did. You
see, after they felt better they felt SO
happy that guess they did not think of
1t any more; any way, they had right
to eat 1t to keep from striving"
Will you give the particularsl''
No, I cannot All the men on
board knew that the bodies had been
eaten, but were tod not to speak muca
about it when we came into port, but
they all knew it,

Clark, guardian ofthe children OF Lieut..
Kislingbury, in an interview this morn
ing said" 1T brought to such point of
starvation think the unfortunate me
would have been thoroughly justified In
in doing as they did. 1t may be that
before he died Lieut.. kislingbury was
forced to do likewise. 1t Is. to say the
least, cruel to criticize in the manner
that has been done the unfortunate par
W on it's return from the horrors of their
exile. The friends of Lieut.. Kisling-
bury made a mistake, in my Judgment,
when they permitted the body TO be ex-
humed."
Mr.. Clark also stated that the rela-
tions existing between Lieut.. Greedy
and Kislingbnry were most cordinal,
and that the stories to the contrary
were unjust and untrue. The basis of
this belief Is conversations with several
of the survivors.
