"Athens! Billy Athens?"
"Yes! He is the editor. I believe you two were college mates. He wanted to know if you are the Boyd Emerson of the Michigan football team."
"Well, well!" Boyd mused. "Billy Athens was a good tackle."
"He thought you might have something interesting to tell about Alaska," the newspaper man went on. "However, I won't need to take much of your time, for your partner has been telling me all about you and your trip and your great success."
"My partner?"
"Yes. Mr. Frobisher. He heard me inquire about you and volunteered to give me an interview in your name."
"Frobisher!" said Emerson, now thoroughly mystified.
"Sure, that's him, over yonder." The reporter indicated "Fingerless" Fraser, who, having watched the interview from a distance, now solemnly closed one eye and stuck his tongue into his cheek.
"Oh, yes, yes! Frobisher!" Boyd stammered. "Certainly!"
"He is a character, isn't he? He told me how you rescued that girl when she broke through the ice at Kalvik."
