Not illustrated. 1919 edition. Excerpt: ... THE WHITE MAN'S FOOT From his wanderings far to eastward, From the regions of the morning, From the shining land of Wabun, Homeward now returned Iagoo, The great traveller, the great boaster, Full of strange and new adventures, Marvels many and many wonders. And the people of the village Listened to him as he told them Of his marvellous adventures, Laughing, answered him in this wise: "Ugh! It is indeed Iagoo! No one else beholds such wonders!"
