He had no sooner re- turned to hi command than he heard the story and again came back The Skagway papers made a great to do over his arrest. Biggest Fake of All ‘The published story that certain persons in Skagway had in their possession the seals of the Order of the Midnight Sun, is the biggest Joke of it all. The same fellows who started the tale, later joked with the correspondent and told him to say that the seals were in existence and that they would produce them for a certain sum of money.
