"After trying every known scheme to keep warm and rest comfortably and failing, Nemo opened his eyes. The scene which presented itself to him astonished him so that he hesitated to believe he was seeing straightly. A snow storm was raging right in his very room, that threatened to swallow him up if he didn't do something at once..."
-- Winsor McCay,
"Little Nemo
in Slumberland,"
The New York Herald,
January 21, 1906
