inca ger reports from the North that a
party of Esquimaux numbering, it is
said, ten persons were rescued from an
island in the mouth Of Hudson bay, upon
which they had been marooned for a
period Of ten Years.
The Eskimo We're caught off short on
drift ice and carried, after long weeks
Of hardship, to the island upon which
they We're found. This island has been
steadfastTy avoided by vessels because of
reefs and magnetic disturbances which
affected ships compasses. 1t is over 100
miles off the mainland.
The Eskimo had lived during all the
period of their forced stay on fish and
seal meat. Several children were born
during the decade Of their Imprisonment,
and some of the party had died.
Those who were rescued seemed all to
be In good health.
