Jumped overboard at Cape Nome and
made a brave effort to reach a cake of

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.

"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

breakfast kids, a kick and a shove.
Griffiths fell agalnat an iron pipe point

deep gash in his forehead. Cook
laughed and told the rest of us he would
have hia mark on us before ; we got

"One day In Seotember Cook told a
sailor named Hansen to turn the grind

the work and Hansen hesitated. In

struck Hansen In the face and felled
him to the deck. Then he Jumped on
