ly stated that the total number OF lives

were those of Mrs. Ross. wife of Governor
Ross. of the Yukon Territory. and her in
FAINT child: Mrs. Ross. of San Francisco:

Advices from Skagway of the latest date
state that after some of the bodies were
washed ashore ghoulish acts were COM
mitted by Indians. At that time the coast
was not In control of patrolmen and the
bodies cast ashore were temporarily un-
protected. AS soon as IL was discovered
in Juneau that the work of robbing the
corpses was In progress the United States
marshal dispatched number of deputies
TO the scene, and at the date Of sailing
of the Haling it was reported that several
of the ghouls had been arrested. Ii is un-
dcrstood that the majority of inferred re-
mains were those of members of the crew.
Ii Is thought that some bodies yet re-
main within the wreck. AS yet the task of
raising the vessel has not been considered,
but soundings will soon be made to ascer-
tain accurately the depth at which the
Islander lies. Should this prove to be un-
der thirtyfive fathoms II is very likely that
an attempt will be made TO raise the
wrecked vessel
