Arrival of the Mounted Police

 

 

TRANSCRIPT

Their search was ended almost at once when they found on an island in the middle of a large muskeg which was still partially frozen, and thus easier access to the island was afforded than if the party had arrived there a month later when the muskeg would be completely thawed out, and practically impassable. There they found his traps hanging on the limb of a tree; his moose hide tepee (which he claimed previously he had eaten; nearly folded and stowed away in the branches of a tree, and scattered around the dead campfire and tripod and ghastly evidence of his cannibalistic orgies in the presence of human skulls and bones, and greasy smears on the trunks of the surrounding trees where he had frequently wiped his greasy hands. A couple of gunny sacks full of skulls and bones were brought in.
