(Received 12.30 p.m.)
LONDON Oct. 21
A Norwegian whaling ship which has arrived from the Arctic is the second ship to visit the Eskimos in Cumberland Gulf since 1914.
The native s suffered greatly during the war period. Being without ammunition they subsisted for years by spearing seals and walruses. The district was swept by influenza in 1918, but only four deaths occurred.
When informed that Britain had won the war the natives held a joy night.—Reuter.
