Indian Creek Farm and the Antarctic Rescue Romance
A Canadian settler recalls emigrating from England to Ontario to run Indian Creek, famed as a prosperous, well stocked farm. The narrative shifts to a dramatic Antarctic disaster aboard the Antarctic, where Dick Hawley rescues his beloved Winny from a sinking ship, survives the night, and returns to marry at Montreal. The piece then pivots to social notes about Clement Stedman, a banker turned writer, and a curious hunting method for groundhogs in New Jersey.
