Cundy, Robert. Beacon Six. Eyre & Spottiswoode, London (1970). 1962. Back-specific but of more general interest.
Ed notes:
1. The intention was to find and examine a cairn on Cape Brittania in the hope that Franklin's party had used it; in fact, the cairn had been examined for that very reason some years earlier.
2. From the diary of participant Russell Polden, 27 August:
... carried the canoe ... over a mossy hill where a cairn had been built. ... On the way back, investigated the cairn, making an interesting discovery. Nearby was a man-made pile of rocks, formed in a closely-knit circle. On examination, I found a skull, a human skull. We presumed it to be an Eskimo grave. After filming the area, I took the skull for later examination. Most interesting.
No one objected, the devout Christian included. Would they have done the same if the grave had been marked with a cross? Old attitudes die hard.
