content: Written on verso: "Eskimo grave yard, Arsuk fiord. The bodies are placed on the rocks and covered with broken stone at this settlement but I saw a grave on an island in the fiord which had been dug out in the ground. It was 2'x2'x5' large and held the bones of at least six people of whom 2 were children say nine or 10 y old. It had been covered with broken stone. J.R.S."
