XIX.
248 Russian Trappers Receiving no answer to their shouts, they at length opened the door and found the man a corpse. His cheek, which was laid on the ground, was covered with a green concre- tion of mould ; and his covering, besides his clothes, was only a Russian mat. Several jackets and other articles of clothing were seen on a bench, on which the inmates appeared to have slept ; but no other individual, living or dead, was observed. It was supposed that his companions had shared the sam...e fate, and had been buried by him, who, as the last survivor, had no one to perform the same kindly office on himself. The yawl belonging to the sufferers was found hauled up on the beach ; it was fully equipped with oars, together with mast and sail." Scoresby gives the following description of a hut on the north-west point of Prince Charles Foreland, which he visited in the year 1809 1 . He says it was the most com- fortable Russian hut he saw in Spitsbergen.
"It was built of logs of half round timber, the original trees being slit up the middle : the round sides were put outwards, and the ends of the timbers, forming two adjoin- ing sides, stretched beyond the corner, and, being notched half way into each other, formed a close joint.
