Kashevaroff stated, and are | probably the ones which Dick Wil- loughby brougHt from Muir Glac- | ier claiming they were the skele- tal remains of a mamouth masta- {don The Rev. Kashevaroff check-, |ed the report at the time and con- | ‘flrmed his opinion that the bones‘ }were merely those of a whale.
