Story about a man who committed a crime and sentenced to the North Pole. On board of this boat they call "The Big Barrel"; I am approaching this island that I see ahead in the horizon. I am a prisoner of my government for having defended my honor. My fate is not clear to me, but I have a premonition of much hard time is ahead for me in my prison. The sentencing judge said on my trial: "You will be imprisoned for a year in one of our islands in the North Pole". I had no knowledge the government had prisons in the north, close to the Arctic Circle!
