Some thirty-five years later, Heinrich Klutschak of Prague, artist and surveyor on a small expedition led by Lieutenant Frederick Schwatka of the 3rd US Cavalry Regiment, stumbled upon the grisly remains at Starvation Cove of the last survivors among Franklin's men.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOverland to Starvation Cove\u003c\/em\u003e is the first English translation of Klutschak's account.
