The Amdrup Arctic expedition. which
returned from East Greenland, ~ wired
you week ago, brings back some stories
of grewsome finds among the Es1Efmo co.,
onioA
1t appears that all the east coast Of
Greenland from 66 degrees 81 minutes to
81 degrees u minutes must have had at
one time or ether Eslrimo inhAbftAnts.
but the colonies are now all extinct,
though ruins Of the towns and relics -
instruments, weapons ana household ar
ticies abound. The Amdrup expedition
has brought back many specimens Of
these finds.
At the furthest point north reached by
the expedition was found a large ana
well preserved dwelling house, containing
skeletons Of about thirty Esktmoe. II Is
probable that these were people who en1-
igrated FROM Angmasalik about the mid
die Of the century.
It is improbable that they starved to
death, seeing that the explorers also
found remains Of whale and seal fiesh
and skeletons Of dogs, bears. whales ana
other animals Copenhagen Dispatch 70
