How many died during St. Lawrence Island 1878-1880 famine?

The original report comes from Report of the cruise of the U.S. revenue steamer Thomas Corwin, in the Arctic Ocean, 1881, by Calvin Leighton (C.L.) Hooper, of the US Revenue Cutter Service.
I found this by reviewing the references in the OP:
In that year Capt. C. L. Hooper, in command of the U.S. Revenue Steamer Corwin, stopped At. St. Lawrence to investigate reports of starvation of large numbers of Eskimos during the winter of 1878-79. Capt. Hooper has given a vivid description of the distressing conditions he found (Hooper, 1881).
The St. Lawrence Island Famine and Epidemic, 1878-80: A Yupik Narrative in Cultural and Historical Context reports that at least 1,000 lives were lost.
