miles away, and came back with
the sheriff and sixty armed cow
boys.
“We captured three of the gang,
who each received sentences of
twenty years’ penal servitude,but
the others, including Kid Curry’,
escaped. A man named Ixanga
baugh was one of those who es
caped. He was recognized in a
bank at Memphis, Tennessee, and
was shot dead in a fight with the
police.”
Tiie general's next adventures
came when he turned engineer
and built the Steese Highway,
linking up the Yukon country
with the sea. Wolves attacked
his food stores, and his men were

It was in northern Alaska that

said the general. “An Eskimo
wife's principal work is to chew
frozen hides, so she must have
good teeth.
“Her husband's boots freeze
solid during the night and in the
morning his wife has to chew his
boots until he can get them on
his feet. When old age creeps
on she is given enough firewood
and food for three days and left
to freeze to death. The Eskimos
do not mind this at all, as death
this way is really pleasant.”
General Stcese has built rail
ways. bridges, dams and jetties

native labourers die like flies
from blaok-water fever and ma

“When I go back to the wild
life I shall remember my three
weeks of luxury in London," he
said, “and then maybe I'll get
some sleep, no matter how hard
it’s freezing or how hot it Ls.”
