An inquest into the death of Thomas Francis Gibson,' whose body was found in the water at Evans BB.y on July 23, was held today, and after he had heard the evidence, the Coroner (Mr. E. Gilbertson) returned a verdict that the deceased was found drowned, there boing no evidence to show how he came to bo in the water. When a Greenlander wishes to punish an enemy for theft, -vife abduction, or any other crime, he makes tire offender stand before ■ a large audience and listen to a personally composed song of derision. This settles the account.
