- At Point Fullerton, one thousand miles straight north of civilization, Sergeant William MacVeigh was writing his semi-annualreport to the Commissioner of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police at Regina. His cold-stiffened fingers wrote with the stub end of a pencil the last words of his report: "I beg to say that I have made every effort to run down Scottie Deane, the murderer. I have not given up hope of finding him, but I believe that he has gone from my territory and is probably now somewhere within the limits of the Fort Churchill patrol. We have hunted the country for three hundred miles south along the shore of Hudson's Bay to Eskimo Point, and as far north as Wagner Inlet. Within three months we have made three patrols west of the Bay, unraveling sixteen hundred miles without finding our man or word of him. I respectfully advise a close watch of the patrols south of the Barren Lands." "There!" said MacVeigh aloud, straightening his hunched shoulders with a groan of relief. "It's done."

From his bunk in a corner of the little wind and storm beaten cabin which represented Law And Order at the top end of the earth Private Pelliter lifted a head wearily from his sick bed and said: "I'm bloomin' glad of it, Mac. Now mebbe you'll give me a drink of water and would you shoot that devilish huskie that keeps howling every now and then out there as though death was after me?" "Are you nervous?" said MacVeigh, stretching his strong young frame with yet another sigh of satisfaction. "What if you had to write this twice a year?" And he pointed at the report. "It isn't any longer than any of the letters you wrote to that girl of yours--"
