Edward D.Im no detective. In fact, most of the time Im more of a snow-man, plowing through head-high drifts and 70-mile winds that plague us nine months of the year in the barren area of northern Canada beyond the permafrost line. But when you are living all alone with one other man, 200 miles from the nearest settlement, and one day that only other man is murdered — well, thats enough to make a detective out of anybody.His name was Charles Fuller, and my name is Henry Bowfort. Charlie was a full professor at Boston University when I met him, teaching an advanced course in geology while he worked on a highly technical volume concerning the effects of permafrost on subsurface mineral deposits. I was an assistant in his department, and we struck up a friendship at once, perhaps helped along by the fact that I was newly married to a sparkling blonde named Grace who caught his eye from the very beginning.Charlies own wife had divorced him some ten years earlier and vanished into the wilderness of Southern California. The three of us dined together regularly, and a close friendship developed along fairly predictable lines.Fuller was in the early forties at the time, a good ten years older than Grace and me, and for as long as wed known him hed talked often about the project closest to his heart. "Before Im too old for it," hed say, "I want to spend a year above the permafrost line."His opportunity came before any of us thought it would, and one day he announced he would be spending his sabbatical at a research post in northern Canada, near the western shore of Hudson Bay. "Ive given a foundation grant for eight months study," he said. "Its a great opportunity. Ill never have another like it.""Youre going up there alone?" Grace asked."Actually, I was hoping I could prevail on your husband to accompany me."I blinked and must have looked a bit startled. "Eight months in the wilds of nowhere with nothing but snow?"And Charlie Fuller smiled. "Nothing but snow. How about it, Grace? Could you give him up for eight months?"If he wants to go," she answered loyally. She had never tried to stand in the way of anything Id wanted to do.We talked about it for a long time that night, but I already knew I was hooked. I was on my way to northern Canada with Charlie Fuller.The cabin — when we reached it by plane and boat and snowmobile — was a surprisingly comfortable place, well stocked with enough provisions for a years stay.

3. The Pool of Tears. Alice cried and cried, and her tears made a deep pool around her. After a few minutes, she heard footsteps, and saw the white rabbit. He had a fan and a pair of white gloves. He looked worried, and he did not see Alice. "Oh, the Duchess is going to be angry! Im so late!" said the rabbit. "Excuse me —” said Alice. The rabbit turned round and saw Alice. He screamed, dropped the fan and the gloves, and ran away. Alice picked up the fan and the gloves, and said, "Oh dear! Everything is so strange today!" Suddenly, she saw that she was quite small again. “The fan is making me small!” she said and dropped it on the floor. "Now I can go through the door!” She ran to the door, but it was shut, and the key was on the table again. Alice tried to climb up the table, but she fell and landed in a pool of water. “Whats this?” said Alice. “Am I in the sea?" But it wasn’t the sea. “It’s the tears I cried when I was big!" said Alice. “Oh. why did I cry so much?" Just then, Alice saw that she was not alone in the pool. There was a mouse, a duck, a dodo, a young eagle, and many other strange creatures. Alice and the animals started to swim, and they soon got* to the shore of the pool of tears.
