Elliot hesitated for the better part of a day, then came to an
impulsive decision. He knew the evil fame of Fifty-Mile Swamp--that
no trail in Alaska was held to be more difficult or dangerous. He
knew too what a fearful pest the mosquitoes were. Peter had told
him a story of how he and a party of engineers had come upon a man
wandering in the hills, driven mad by mosquitoes. The traveler had
lost his matches and had been unable to light smudge fires. Day and
night the little singing devils had swarmed about him. He could not
sleep. He could not rest. Every moment for forty-eight hours he had
fought for his life against them. Within an hour of the time they
found him the man had died a raving maniac.
