Heart of Darkness pg 54-63

Word: Native
Question: If the natives were treated differently would that effect the way the man look at Kutz and his behavior towards them such has not putting head on sticks and threatening  to kill them?

Heart of Darkness to end of part 2

Marlow throws the body of the dead helmsman overboard. Many people on the boat are upset about this because he didn't get a proper burial and the cannibals loss out on a meal. Marlow blames the helmsman for his own death because if he didn't fire they wont of shot him.  I thought that the death was foreshadowing the future and some other death like Kurtz.  Marlow and his crew thinks that the station has been completely destroyed and the trip was useless, but they discovered the station and it was only slightly dilapidated.  I think the station is a representation of the journey, the journey still went on but it had its bad times.  When Marlow meets the person in charge he discovers his notebook is not in code but in Russian.  I was confused did someone end up reading the notebook to Marlow or not?
