You'll read about adventure, different kinds of love, and how these people survived in a place that was both rugged and amazing. In one story, two friends, Tommy Lark and Sandy Rowl, find a telegram for a woman named Elizabeth Luke, and they think it might mean she's in trouble. Tommy is determined to bring her the message even though the sea is stormy and icy, and as they think about how dangerous the journey is they reveal their hidden romantic feelings for Elizabeth as they embark on a perilous journey.
