They steamed into Elvin Bay, and party
from the Bslaena landed and proceeded in

came upon a CHASTITY ring OF corpses,
the remains OF Eskimos who had
evidently died OF starvation. The
evidence pointed TO its having been a
case OF survival OF the fittest. The bodies
had probably lain where they were found
for ~ number OF months, but the
remains were well preserved. Some
OF the bodies bore DO trace OF the
tale told by the others. On the
other hand clean picked human bones and
partially devoured bodies revealed story
OF canDibalism. One corpse had been
bebeaded and the head fcand 30 yards
