LIEUTENANT KISLINGBURY'S BROTHER CONTRO- I 
VERTS STATEMENTS BY • SURVIVOR. 
To the Editor of The Tribune. 
Sir: In perusing the evening press I was aston¬ 
ished at the article from your columns of December 
19 In relation to my brother’s diary, which brings 
my name In controversy with Maurice Connell. I 
would like to refresh Mr. Connell’s memory by say¬ 
ing that the diary he refers to was recovered at 
Camp Clay, near Cape Sabine, where the survivors 
of the Greely party were rescued by Commander 
Schley, and said diary was taken to Washington, 
where It was kept for nearly two years before being 
turned over to Charles L. Clark, of Detroit, In a 
very dilapidated condition. Tills diary did not con¬ 
tain any revelations of cannibalism, and I never 
made a statement to the effect that it did. 
I have recently been informed that Lieutenant 
Peary has, during the last year, recovered the diary 
my brother left at Fort Conger in 1S83, which will, I 
hope, bring to light the difference of opinion my 
brother, Lieutenant Klsllngbury, had with Mr. 
Greely. Thus you see that Mr. Connell, being mis¬ 
informed about the diary, has misrepresented Its 
contents. He, with some of hls comrades, has, I 
know onlv too well, kept silent and allowed the 
commander to be tho mouthpiece of the expedition. 
I do not wish to put a blot on Mr. Connell’s good 
name or on that of any subordinate survivor of the 
Ill-fated expedition. 
Connell says there was no cannibalism. I claim 
there was. The exhuming of my brother’s body and 
that of Private Whistler a week later proved it. 
Will Mr. Connell tell me why the shooting of Henry 
was not. disclosed until after the raising of my 
brother's body, and why my brother, second officer 
In command of the expedition, should die from 
starvation on June 1 and Private Henry be shot six 
days later on the charge of stealing provisions? 
Also, why Dr. Pavy’s body was never recovered, as 
his ddatli was recorded to have occurred the same 
day ns Henry’s? 
It is simplv in the interest of truth and for the 
sake of justice to his dead comrades that I ask Mr. 
Connell to answer these questions, since he has 
said he will no longer keep silent. 
I have never made a statement to "The Spring- 
field Republican,” and the one published in that 
paper Is utterly false and unauthorized by me.
