One of these bodies appeared tohave been placed here not longer ago than five or six years. Wethought there were children laid in here also. On first opening thisbuilding, by removing the posts which formed the ends, our curiositywas raised to the highest pitch; but what added to our surprise, wasthe discovery of a white deal coffin, containing a skeleton neatlyshrouded in white muslin. After a long pause of conjecture how such athing existed here, the idea of _Mary March_ occurred to one of th...eparty, and the whole mystery was at once explained[B].
In this cemetery were deposited a variety of articles, in someinstances the property, in others the representations of the propertyand utensils, and of the achievements, of the deceased. There were twosmall wooden images of a man and woman, no doubt meant to representhusband and wife; a small doll, which we supposed to represent a child(for _Mary March_ had to leave her only child here, which died twodays after she was taken): several small models of their canoes; twosmall models of boats; an iron axe; a bow and quiver of arrows wereplaced by the side of _Mary March's_ husband; and two fire-stones(radiated iron pyrites, from which they produce fire, by striking themtogether) lay at his head; there were also various kinds of culinaryutensils, neatly made, of birch-rind, and ornamented; and many otherthings, of some of which we did not know the use or meaning.
