JACK LONDON OBJECTS
TO A NATURE-FAKE CHARGE.

SAN FRANCISCO, October THE
/ following letter, which was sent to
/ Arthur Stringer early in August by
/ Jack London has just been made pub
. lie by the author, who states that
thus far it has received no attention
from Mr.. Stringer:
Glen Ellen, August 2, 1909.
Mr.. Arthur Stringer:
Dear Sir-I have just returned home
after two years and half of wander
ing through the South Seas, on which
portions of the earth's surface men
/ will be found, no doubt, who will rise
up and say that | have never been in
the South Seas and do not know what
| am writing about. Having Just re-
/ turned have for the first time read
your article entitled The Canada
Faker's published in the Ocober
number of Canada West" And now a
word with you
WOULD BET $4,000.
You have charged me with various
Canada fakes and / shall take them
up in the order given by you. Cd,
When Love of Life was originally
published in "McClure's Magazine" the
charge was then made that only an
amphibious fish could have got from
one pool of water to the other pool of
water. l replied to this at the time
and gave eminent satisfaction to the
be-puzzled inquirers. Now | am not
going to explain to you how that fish
without being amphibious, escaped
from one pool to the other; but | will
make you a proposition in two parts,
said proposition to be a test of your
cock-sureness in the matter On the
one hand, | will bet you 5000, and on
the other hand / will bet you 50 900
that | will demonstrate before any
committee of professors of physics Sc
lected by you that under the circum-
stances precisely narrated in my story,
the fish did escape from one hole to
the other, through the crevice, and
that it could escape by swimming, and
that the man could bale the one pool
dry in a few minutes and that the
other pool into which the fish escaped
could not have been baled by him in
half a day, In this connection 1t is
up to you either to recant or to make
your bet with me and prove yourself
a physics-faker.
COLOSSAL CARELESSNESS."
(2) You raise a great laugh at my
expense because l have a water-hole
open at a very low temperature, said
water hole remaining unfrozen. This
is such an absolute literary fakerism
that | wonder either at your audacity
in promulgating it, or at your colossal
carelessness. The water hole at issue,
according to my story was first ap-
preached by the man who arrived first
a tthe cabin. What takes place / now
quote from my story. The dogs had
stopped beside a water hole, not a fis-
sure, but a hole man-made, chopped Ia
boriously with an axe through three
and half feet of ice. A thick skin of
new ice showed that it had not been
used for some time" The time of the
action of the story that takes place in
the cabin is a matter of but few min
utes, during which time first one man
and then the other man goes out to the
The Hawaiian star., 1909-10-14

water hole. AT the end of the few min
utes of action inside the cabin, one
man departs, and departing he casts
the sack of gold into the water hole.
Again | quote: He worked the sack
of gold out between the lashings and
craried it to the water hole. Already a
new skin of ice had formed This he
broke with his fist
SLED is TOBoGGAN. - y
60 You criticize me for speaking
of brGh-bark sled. Such an obiec-
tion, when the context is considered,
lis so puerile as TO be a matter of mar
vel that you should be guilty of max
ing it. In white Fang I show the
method of driving the dogs and de-
scribe the sleds that the dogs haul so
that no man acquainted with the local
ity would dream for an instant that |
meant anything else than a birch-bark
toboggan sled. Criticize my use of the
word sled if you please, but do not
abort your criticism until it becomes
a criticism of my fact. Such tricks
may be all very well in school boys
debating societies, but between grown
men and writers of books they are
certainly out of place. In this connec-
tiOn you throw yourself open to the
charge of being a logic faker and an
'etymology faker.
ca You object to my use of the
dog drivers command to "mush on"
My northland stories are practically
.all confined to the Klondike and to
Alaska, and there the only phrase used
to go on, to move, is 'mush on" There
i snO discussion about this fact. There
is no man who has been in .Klondike
or Alaska but who will affirm this
statement of mine. In this connection
you have made yourself into a Canada
faker, and self-advertsed scholastic
Canada fake at that.
Now what | want to know is, what
are you going to do about it? viii
you take these charges back as pub
licly as you have charged them? And
If, in the nature of journalism, you
cannot take them back as publicly as
you have charged them, what amends
then are you going to make?
Sincerely yours,
JACK LONDON.

KAUKANAHUA BRIDGE.

TIL Oahu Railway is putting in at
Kaukanahua gulch, between Wahiawa
and Halemano, one of the longest
and loftiest bridges in this island.
The bridge is on the two-mile spur
of the road sent out from Wahiawa
to the Eames cannery and Halema-

more than 500 feet in length and will
be 115 feet high at the center. Heavy
