two barrels of gum drops. An Eskimo will travel thirty miles for a gum drop.

"Now Cook has as much nerve as any man in the world, I guess, but he

 to take him through." , 



That this last statement was true was the testimony of Dr. Cook when 

 the thrilling story of his exploit came from his own lips.
