although how any one could remain
so and go through the awful exper-.
iences, and more-over eat, with apparent relish, the simply incredulous .
messes that he did is beyond the un-. ¢t
derstanding of this poor penpusher. .
At the tender age of 19 he went!
adventuring in Greeland. There he
spent many years,
‘to wife, starved, feasted, lived .
through the long dark, hunted and
‘fished, all the while gathering scien.
tific data on the side. He even went .
so far as to cut off all the toes on
one foot because his foot was frozen .
and his toes being in a somewhat ;
spoiled-condition were in the way!
' The book is graphilcally written
and profusely illustrated with authentic photographs. Interesting
personalities weave in aud out of the
account, and what you don’t know.
about Greenland and its inhabitants
when you get through reading this
book, would hardly be worth the
telling.
These are dashing adventures,
gustily told, and for we stay-at-homes its a grand adventure to-read of
Peter Freuchen’s Life in the Artic.
