Bishop Pascal, of the Diocese of Prince Albert saw m Eskimo car rying a revolver and noticed that other members of the tribe seemed to have an unusual quantity of rope.
 Had Starved to Death
 When ho inquired they told him that q great white house" had come down from the sky, that the men in 1t had starved to death and that tho rope had come from tho house top. The Eskimos showed him brass instruments and hunting gear they had fashioned from metal they found on the balloon, and also cook ing utensils and waterproof cloth they had taken,

 A price of $2To0o is reported to have been paid for one such replica, while q Chicago dealer asked S25,- 000 apiece for pair of models in his possession.
 The ship model originated several centuries ago when sailors fashion cd miniatures of the vessels they sailed, and put them In churches or civic halls upon their successful re- turn from q voyage, as thank offer rngs or memorials.
