last summer, we don't re-
ally get the fresh grub habit fastened
on us none. You see, the gamblers
downtown cop out the few digs an
green vegetables that stray off the
ships, so they never get out as far as
the creek none, except maybe in the
shape of anecdotes.
1--WE don't get intimate with no nu-
triments except hog boosum an brown
beans, of which luxuries we have I'M
stinted measure, an, bein' as this is
our third year in the country, we ban
ker for bony fido grub somethin' scan
'lous. Yes, maam, three years with
out taste Of fresh fruit nor meat nor
nuthin' except pork an beans. Why,
I've ct bacon till my immortal soul has
growed a rind.
when it comes time to close down
the claim, the boy is sick with the fe-
yer. an the only ship ia port is Point
Barrow whaler. bound for Seattle.
After l book our passage / find they
have nothin' aboard to eat except can
ned salmon. it bein' the end Of two
years cruise, so when l land in the
States after seventeen days of fish
diet / am what you might call stated
with canned grub and have added
salmon to the list of things concernin'
which l am goin' to economize.
"Soon's ever l get the boy into
hospital l gallop up to the best
rawnt in town an prepare for the
huge potlatch. This here, l determine,
is to be gormandizin' jag which shall
live in hist'ry an wharof In later years

beans an then a full grown platter OF
canned salmon. When the waiter lays
'em out in front of me, / look them
vittles coldly in their disgustin' visages
an say in sarcastic accents:
"'Set there, d you, an watch me
cleanin' the menu from soda to hook.
When | have done my worst, / pile
bones an olive seeds an peelins all
over them articles OF nourishment,
stick toothpicks into 'em, an, havin'
offered 'em what other indignities &C.

DeXtry and the girl were leaning
over the stern rail, chatting idly in the
darkness. 1t was the second night out,
and the ship lay dead in the ice pack.
All about there was fiat, foe clogged

Occasionally they had passed herds

they had seen the smoke Of other ships
