of their ships. Of course he accepts, and a life of world-wide
travel and incident is the result. Among many exciting episodes may
be mentioned shooting "rattlers" in the Sierras, encounters with
narwhals and bears in the Arctic regions, a hairbreadth escape on
the terrible ice-river of Spitzbergen, and adventures among the
