...tail; dignified walruses which almost succeed in gnashing him with their tusks; caribou, of which a herd stampedes through a valley, over a hill, across a beach and into the water, where Mala and his companions harpoon them. There are, also, less healthy exercises to be seen in Eskimo-lust, murder, polygamy. Mala makes the mistake of lending his wife to a Nordic fur-trader who gets her tipsy, rapes her and then allows her to shuffle off across the snow where his assistant shoots her under the pardonable delusion that she is a seal.

...Citizen Roosevelt had no lust to gloat over the wintry country he was soon to rule. At his side sat little child-faced William Hartman Woodin, soon to be master of the greatest treasury in the world. At his side sat professorial Raymond Moley, raised from the classroom to the councils of the great, but they had few thoughts of pomp and circumstance. The ruthless pressure of events gave them time to consider but one hard fact: that in four days the bank deposits of twelve states had been seized by the frozen hand of Depression...
