Th2 body of an unknown than'
was found Wednesday on the
t each of Shoup glacier 'hav by \\.
K. Brennan. Mr. Rrcnnafl iras
camped on the shore of the bay and
while going along in a small boAt!
Hftw the body of a man lying on the
rocks. As the tide was low he de
ferred examining the corpse until
the next mor .ing. but wheh he re
turned nothing could be found of
the body.
The corpse was dressed in a
dark t-tjit of clothes, still had its
shoes on and was lying face down
on t he rocks. The head was par
tially covered with, kelp and sand.
The body undoubtedly went out
through the narrows that night on
the extreme high tide, as no trace
of it could he seen along the shores
of the bay.
Nothing can be learned here of
any missing manv so the body
must have been that of some.stran
ger who was drowned near town
and carried into Shoup bay by the
wind of the past week.
