520			_a"My Toughest Trip" by Sergeant Reading is an Arctic adventure narrative written in the early 20th century. As an account from a member of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police (now the Royal Canadian Mounted Police), the book provides a unique glimpse into the challenges faced by officers patrolling the harsh Arctic landscape and interacting with the local Inuit populations. The narrative centers around the intense experiences and responsibilities of a Mountie, particularly during a rescue mission that takes a dramatic turn. The storyline follows Sergeant Reading as he undertakes the task of returning an Eskimo woman, Nuttinook, to her rightful husband after resolving a dispute over her abduction. During their journey, they face unforeseen hardships when a storm leaves them stranded on an island. Compounding their troubles, Nuttinook unexpectedly gives birth to a baby girl, while Reading is left to navigate both the emotional and physical challenges of keeping the newborn alive in the unforgiving Arctic wilderness. Throughout the ordeal, Reading showcases his resourcefulness and determination, ultimately fulfilling his duty and returning the child to her community despite the heartbreaking loss of her mother. The account emphasizes both the difficulty and the nobility of the work done by the Mounties in the Arctic, contrasting romanticized portrayals with the realities of their experiences.
