420 The Second Tent and the Boat. [jniy, iseo. 



skeleton bones that bad been broken np for the marrow m them; they were near 

 a fire-phice; skulls among these. The number of them ama-su-ad-loo (a great 

 many) — cannot tell how many. It is certain that some of the men lived on human 

 flesh, for alongside of the boat were some large boots with cooked human flesh 

 in them. 



[Hannah here told Hall that from all which had been said by In- nook poo - 

 zliee-jool: and the other Innuits met with at the twenty-seventh encampment of 

 their late journey, she was satisfied that after Crozier's party left the place where 

 the two boats were found and the large tent at or near the head of Terror Bay, 

 the starving seamen who remained at or about the boats no longer restrained 

 themselves from satisfying their hunger. The Innuits do not believe that human 

 flesh was used by Crozier or by any one about him.] 



Hall adds in regard to the boat: The sledge-runner I have (deposited after 

 his return at the Smithsonian) is part of the sledge on which was this boat which 

 the white man did not find. 



Question. Did you see any papers with marks on, the same as I am now 

 making ? 



Answer. ]^o; but saw a great many like the paper of the book by my 

 (Hall's) side (McCliutock's Voyage of the Fox). 



Question. What was the size of the tent '? 



Answer. Xever saw the tent itself, but only the tenting-place; judging from 

 the appearances, the tent must have been as long as to the fiu'ther end of 

 Ar-moii'H tent from where he was sitting. (Hall measured this distance to be 22 

 feet.) The tent was on some rising ground, trow-pulc (sandy), overlooking the sea, 

 about as far off as an islet pointed out — half a mile. Three graves were near the 

 tenting-place. 



On showing In-nool-poo-zhce-jook the large Admiralty chart, he pointed out 

 the place of the tent on Terror Bay, and said that when his party "\isited the 

 tenting-])lace they followed the coast around to the northward and westward 

 until they arrived at the extreme west i^oint, and then turned to the eastward, 

 where they found at last the boat which the white man from Ik-ke-hi-suk (Bellot 

 Strait) had foilnd before them. Further on, about half a mile (as he now shows 

 by the islet before referred to) they found the other boat. The distance from the 

 boats to the tenting-plafe could be made by a smart walk throughout a long day, 

 following the coastline. When he first found the boats (in 18GI, as made out by 

 Hall), the ice between Cape Crozier and Admiralty Inlet was very rugged and 

 heavy, but the next year it was all smooth. He thinks from the kind of ice seen
