trail has just reached here Three men
left here for Dahl River ON December
9Th for .Iimtown. and were not heard
of again till the steamer Rideout which

and Brockton. Mass, respectively Their
bodies We're discovered seventeen miles
from the mouth of Old Mans Greek,
they having lost the trail and become be-
wildered. Having left Dahl River with
only three weeks food. bllt which was
amply sufficient for the 100 miles to
Jimtown, they were soon reduced to star
.yation.
Daly's body was found partly eaten.
ON the stove in the tent just as it was
left when death overlook the others.
Some scraps OF moosehide and moccasn
were found. of which they We're endeav
oring to make stew. Days body was

men were found dead five miles away
from the tent. The fact of the tent flaps
being shut down when found would
seem to preclude the possibility of Daly's
body having been eaten by animals The
other men doubtless were driven by
hunger to the awful extremity of cann-
balism.
Four hundred dollars were found on
the bodies
The seven boats which wintered at
Dahl River are all safe.
