Lost in Alaska Page #4

A character out of the Yukon.

Uh, "NuggetJoe McDermott. "

There must be two NuggetJoes.

Here. Read it for yourself.

Yeah, I'd like to.

Go ahead, gentlemen.

Read that.

It's gonna rain tomorrow.

Never mind that! Read the other.

Oh, my. Oh, my.

Oh, my.

"Police are looking

for two volunteer firemen. "

Here. Take the gold.

Oh, boy.

Ooh!

Ya thief!

"Take the gold, ya thief"?

Oh, this is funny.

You're wanted for my murder.

Well, we finally found something

that makes the guy laugh... murder!

We didn't murder him.

Get a load of this.

"Police suspected foul play...

"when they found the tattered remains

of NuggetJoe's clothing...

on a waterfront pier. "

That's you! Foul play? You saved my life!

"Further evidence was supplied by the

alleged killers' landlady, Mrs. McGillicuddy,

who was paid in gold nuggets and was told,

'There's plenty more where this came from. "

Why, they could hang you

on this alone!

Oh, no.

Wait a minute.

They can hang you...

hang you by the neck!

Hang you by the neck

until you're dead.

They can hang you!

Yeah, yeah!

They could hang me by the neck

until I'm dead.

No. No.

Well, it's lucky... It's lucky we got

onboard this boat before it sailed.

Now you can come down to the police

station and prove we're innocent.

No, I can't. I can't.

I've got to go up to get Rosette.

This is the last boat to Alaska

for a month!

Joe, come on to the police department.

Let them see you're alive...

What did you say? I said, let's go

to the police department, show them...

I... I can't hear him!

Nobody can hear!

Shh! Shh! Wait.

Nobody can hear!

Stop the whistles!

You've gotta come...

I can't hear ya!

What did he say?

Bwoooop!

Bwoooop!

Don't you start.

Please.

We've got to...

Bwooop!

Which way...

Which way is the kitchen?

Downstairs.

Skagway!

How do you like it?

I'd rather be headed back for San

Francisco and prove that you're alive.

Let's find Rosette,

get the first boat out of here.

There won't be a boat

leaving for a week.

But don't worry about me. Rosette

loves me and I aim to keep alive.

Somebody aims to keep you dead.

What a town.

Wait a minute. Must be something

wrong. Who'd wanna shoot you?

Could be Bob Quinn. But

why does he wanna shoot you?

Well, I had to hang his brother a few years

ago, and somehow he's never gotten over it.

I was sheriff of Skagway in '87.

In those days,

it was a real tough town.

Hey. Did you

hang anybody else?

Quite a few. As a matter of

pride, I kept a list. Ohhh.

Hey, you got quite a list.

Twelve names, in fact.

You got nothing to worry about.

He was shooting at me.

Come on, boys. Let's go. Hey. Wait

a minute. He was shooting at you.
