They were orphans, and,
after having had many trying experiences, each of them had left
his cruel employers, and, unknown to each other previously, had
met in a certain village, where they were obliged to beg for
food. They decided to cast their lots together, and, boarding a
freight train, started West.
The train, as told in the first volume to this series, called
"Through the Air to the North Pole," was wrecked near a place
where a certain Professor Amos Henderson, and his colored helper,
Washington White, lived. Mr. Henderson was a learned scientist
who was constantly building new wonderful machines. He was
working on an airship, in which to set out and locate the North
Pole, when he discovered Jack and Mark, injured in the freight
wreck. He and Washington White carried the lads to the
inventor's workshop, and there the boys recovered. When they
were well enough, the professor invited them to live with him,
and, more than that, to take a trip with him North Pole.
They went, in company with Washington and an old hunter, named
Andy Sudds, and some other men, whom the professor took along to
help him.
