This remarkable book is a record of the author's own amazing experiences.

boyhood, comes out boldly against John Barleycorn. It is a string of
exciting adventures, yet it forcefully conveys an unforgettable idea and
makes a typical Jack London book.

BURNING DAYLIGHT. Four illustrations.
The story of an adventurer who went to Alaska and laid the foundations of

on his own account. Finally he takes to drinking and becomes a picture of
degeneration. About this time he falls in love with his stenographer and
wins her heart but not her hand and then--but read the story!
