As Frobisher searched the area for more Inuit, the rest of the crew began mining the ore and loading the ship. He located an abandoned village where he discovered a few scraps of European clothing. From this, Frobisher believed that his men had been murdered by the Inuit, but Inuit oral history denies this. Frobisher was not greeted kindly by the Inuit he encountered. Instead, he found himself in a war during which he was wounded. He managed to capture several Inuit as slaves, but many more jumped into the sea to avoid capture. Frobisher returned to England with his shipload of gold ore which turned out to be worthless His captured slaves died less than a month after their arrival.…
