Lake Athabaska territory of Northern | Canada. Mr. Munsterhjelm tells how he and a companion, Karl, made a living out of trapping mink, fox and muskrat and hunting caribou, bear and beaver. He gives a graphic account of an insidious sickness, "cabin fever," which creeps unnoticed upon people who are forced to live together for a long time in cramped quarters: "Karl and I had agreed to fight it tooth and nail if it attacked us. But that was easier said than done. . . Karl had a way of methodically stacking up tins on the shelf when he was cooking that made my skin creep. And if he lay on his bunk it irked me. ‘Now the so-and-so lies there, doing nothing again.’ If he was up and about. . . ‘Oh, yes, now he pretends to work like hell again, but he doesn’t fool me.’" Fortunately, just when cabin fever was becoming unbearable six dog teams and their Indian drivers arrived, and the back of the malady was broken. There are no illustrations but a man shows the area
