Cook beat blm in the face with bis big lists until the iiiwo (snow screamed aloud in Ms mis ery Anderson's lace was frightfully swollen, mangled and black for weeks afterwards. 'In June. Faber and Carl Miller Jumped overboard at Cape Nome and made a brave effort to reach a cake of loa half a, mile away. They were re captured and the treatment accorded them by Cook has no counterpart in hell Itself. I shudder now when I think of the flendlshness that characterized the man's work. "He met both of them as they reached deck with hia hnntM ami .

With a rope about the chains and thrown over a beam Cook pulled the men up until their toes barely touched the floor. .In that trueuyina; position this human devil left both of them for (4 hours, i "The ropes and chains cut into the Hicu a rm ana nanas nice dull knives. Their suffering was so intense it near ly drove them lhunrto, and hour after hour they hung there, torn and bleeding nirn.iuK in irieir agony.

"George Maine and myself tried to es cape some time later, Wa walked over the Ice, thinking it reached tbe main SEATTLE HIGH SCHOOL SECURES COSTLY PIANO shore, but were disappointed when we got. to-the edge to find solid ground a mile away. - We took our chances on cake of ice floating past, but were sight ed after floating around on tbe iceberg ivr it noun ana men uaciw. m fact that the hold waa full of coal saved us from the fate of Miller and Faber. We were beaten, of course, but we got to look upon such punishment a light ' "Cook swore in tha oresence of all of us that we each would bear his mark before we got back, and well he kept his word. One morning without the slightest provocation he gave Fred Grif fiths, who waa coming aft with the breakfast kids, a kick and a shove. Griffiths fell agalnat an iron pipe point ing -out from the afterhouse and cut a deep gash in his forehead. Cook laughed and told the rest of us he would have hia mark on us before ; we got through, - "One day In Seotember Cook told a sailor named Hansen to turn the grind stone. Another man was already doing the work and Hansen hesitated. In stantly Cook flew into a rage. He struck Hansen In the face and felled him to the deck. Then he Jumped on the man's chest with both knees and f round them into his , victim's ribs, lansen died from the effects of this ummeiing a' lew weeks arterwarda. .'he' man was so sick he could scarcely raise himself from his bunk." but Cook every morning would drag him 'out on the deck and make him work, Hansen hogany of superb design.
