He needed the money badly for he had overspent his income to satisfy his various desires. As well as paying for his ranch and his growing number of dependents he was beginning to squander a fortune on building a boat called the "Snark" for his seven years' voyage. He returned to panning out a living from Alaska in the stories collected in a volume with "Love of Life." His confidence in his own tenacity was shown in that extraordinary story of man's will to survive at all costs. Yet the instability of his long sickness also appeared in "The Sun-Dog Trail." In that underestimated story of a man and woman bent on vengeance against another man the reason for action is hidden and the white silence of the north is as ambiguous as it is murderous. Reality and appearance willpower and dream are all confused in a last reckoning. Sinclair As always the title leaf is a cancel. This is a bright near-fine copy minor damage to the front endpaper.

1917137651917. Mountfort. New York: The Macmillan Company 1917. 10 pp undated ads. Original red-brown cloth with dog silhouettes in black. First Edition of this posthumously-published book published about six months after JERRY OF THE ISLANDS. Though both books were written by Jack in Honolulu as cash-raising hackwork MICHAEL BROTHER OF JERRY was a better book. It argued that far worse than the Social Pit for men were the cages for trained dogs and circus animals. All the foul tricks of the trade were exposed. So effective was his indignation that hundreds of London clubs sprang up on the publication of the book dedicated to ending the trade in performing animals. Sinclair By the time Jack wrote this book in late 1915 on his and Charmian's second trip to Hawaii during 1915-1916 Jack was swilling so much fruit juice as it helped flush out the toxins his kidneys couldn't handle that he was becoming quite fat. He rarely stirred out of his kimono and his hammock. He felt too ill to walk more than a block and he preferred to take the chauffeur and the car for the shortest excursion. This is a near-fine copy very slightly rubbed at the extremities but the title page bears a blind-stamp and the paste-down an ink-stamp of an early Maine bookseller.
