About this book

A stretch of killing white water becomes the proving ground for love and nerve in this short wilderness tale. Jean Baptiste Chabrier, a quiet woodsman of the northern bush, must run a canoe through the deadly Assin-nebah rapids, and the passage forces jealousy, courage, and betrayal to the surface. Sewell Peaslee Wright, a busy contributor to the adventure and science fiction magazines of the interwar years, keeps the telling lean and the danger close, the way the pulps liked it. It is a brisk story of the north woods and the men and women drawn into its risks, over in a single sitting. This free edition can be downloaded as a PDF and EPUB.
