Adventurers Club ep05 The Frozen North

We take you and fancy to one of the most famous institutions of its kind, the World Adventurer's Club. Here we meet men who have braved every danger that the world has to offer, men who have battled the polar seas and the tropical jungle.

It is the custom of this club to hold a series of informal meetings in which one member is called upon to tell the most thrilling experience of his career. And now the World Adventurous Club extends a cordial invitation to you to draw up your chair and hear a story of the royal road to adventure.

Here's our goal. The World Adventurous Club. Mr. President, what's up? What is this?

Tonight, gentlemen, it's my privilege to point an accusing finger at one of you and say, Tonight you tell us of your strange adventure in a strange land. That's right. Who's the cordial means? Who gets the call?

Now I'm going to call the Captain Alexander Hale of the North Pole and all points out. Well gentlemen, I've spent my share of time north of the Arctic Circle. I've never been in Africa, I've never seen a cannibal.

I've never hunted elephant for tigers, but I believe I can describe to you one personal experience that will not be out of place in the archives of this world. And that's not funny, it must be very difficult.

I only trip over the actual North Pole was by air. It was a thrill indeed, but nothing half as thrilling as a party I laid in search of the ill-fated Morton expedition. You all remember Captain Robert Morton, I suppose?

Oh, yes, yes, yes. He went in the arctic many years ago and never came back. That's right, it's lost in the night. Never. That's correct. Bob Morton had been my friend. At the time, I tried to dissuade him from attempting an arctic expedition.
