Three weeks ago they found them 95 miles north of Roberval. Thirteen-year-old Michel, his hair matted, his face aged and seamed from privation, crouched over an iron bucket in which he had kept a fire burning for two months. Nineteen-year-old Réné, dead since July, lay beside him, a moldering skeleton...
