BODIES OF THREE
EXPLORERS FOUND
Declared to Be Those of John
Hornby Expedition Into
North Woods.
pv thp A'"'OCi»‘ , vl Press.
SASKATOON. Saskntrhrwsn. Septem
ber 6. — The finding of |he bodies of
John Hornby. Canadian explorer, and
his two companions, missing in the
North woods for two years, was describ
ed today in a letter from Harold Wil
son of his father, A. E. Wilson, of In
dian Head.
•' The younger Wilson, leader of a
party of explorers, found the three bod
ies in a rude shelter on the shore of
the Inn River on a route leading from
Great Slave Lake to the Hudson Bay.
He said the condition of the bodies
made it impossible to determine the
cause of death.
The party which Wilson headed ar
rived safely at Ranekin Inlet a few
ciavs ago. where the letter was written.
The finding of Hornby’s body was an
nounced August 14 by the Royal North
west. Mounted Police, but the- identifi
cation was questioned by A. J. Bell of
Saskatoon, a friend of Hornby's. He
said he had talked to the noted ex
plorer over the telephone in Vancouver
last Fall and that Hornby told him he
was farming on Lulu Island, near Van
couver. A search of the island, how
ever. failed to reveal any one who had
known Hornby or had seen him there.
He was not listed in any directories of
the island or in the land records as a
larm owner.
