About this audiobook

Jean Baptiste Chabrier paddles a canoe toward the roaring rapids of Assin-nebah. In the middle sits his young wife, Charlotte. In the bow sits his friend Les Walters, a big, blond, laughing sawyer. Jean Baptiste has watched his wife turn her gaze from him to his guest, and he knows what she is feeling. The rapids ahead will force a choice. Sewell Peaslee Wright's story of the north woods, a husband and a test of the heart ran in Argosy All-Story Weekly in 1929. Paul Landergan reads it. Thirteen minutes of canoes, spray and danger. For listeners who like short adventure tales with a hard edge.
