The barren and wind swept north, the rushing rapids, the pulling of the dog teams, and spectacular views. Uncle Angus goes off to sell some of his furs, comes down with a serious case of influenza, and is being treated as a charity patient. When Jamie hears of this, he gets the idea of returning to the "Great Stone House" to retrieve some of the Viking relics with the hope of selling them to a museum for money to pay for his uncle's treatment. So the three boys, along with Awasin's sister Angeline, set off on their mission. However, they learn that the police are after Jamie to put him in foster care. And they find that some of the Eskimos are none too keen on desecrating the Viking grave because of an old curse. Will the youngsters get caught? Can they make it to the "Great Stone House," or will the Eskimos keep them from it? And how will four teenagers get to Churchill all by themselves to sell the relics?"-lightly stained on the upper spine.
