ABOUT
This tells of the Laurel's trip, during the war, in the Greenland Patrol, and of the author's introduction to the Arctic in the Coast Guard Service, as a cowboy to icebergs.
There is much of the men and their work and play, of the Laurel herself as she meets storm and ice and uncharted waters, of playing rendezvous with other ships, of missions on land and experiences -- often ludicrous -- with Eskimos and foreign residents, military and civilian. The author recalls the rugged work, unpredictable weather, and colourful characters that shaped daily life in an isolated region.
