The figure wrapped up in them spoke
again sharply, whereupon a tall Indian
runner left the team and headed swift
ly for the scene of the accident. AS he
approached Emerson noted the fellows
flowing parka of ground squirrel skins,
from which a score of fluffy tails fell
free, and he saw that this was no IN
dian, but a half-breed of peculiar cop
perry lightness. The man ran forward
till he neared the edge of the opening,
where the tide had caused the foes to
separate and the cold had not had
time as yet to heal It; then, f1attening
his body to It's full length on the ice, he
crawled out cautiously and seized the
lead dog. Carefully he wormed his
way backward to security, then leaned
his weight upon the tugline.
1t had been a ticklish operation, re-
curing nice skill and dexterity, but
now that his footing was sure the run
ner exerted his whole strength, Inc as
the dogs scratched and tore for firm
foothold the sled came crunching closer
n closer through the half-inch skin
of ice. Then he cached down and
dragged Emerson out, dripping and
~nerveless from his immersion. To-
gether they rescued the outfit.
The person in the sledge had watched
them silently. but now spoke in a
strange patois, and the breed gave
voice to her words, for 1t was a woman.
"One mile o go-white man house,
Go quick-you freeze" He pointed
back whence the two men had come,
indicating the other branch of the trail.
Fraser had emerged meanwhile and
circled the water-hole, but even this
brief exposure to the open air had
served to harden his wet garments into
a cracking armor. With rafting
teeth. he asked:
Amt you got no dry clothes? Our
stuff Is soaked"
Again the Indian translated some
words from the girl.
NO. You hurry and no stop here.
We go quick over yonder. No can
stop at ALL"
He hurried back to his mistress, cried
once to the pack of gray dogs,
"Oonahi" and they we're off as II In
chase. They left the trail and clrcled
toward the shore, the driver standing
erect upon the heels of the runners,
guiding the team with wide-flung
gestures and sharp cries, the rush OF
air huttering the many squirrel-tails
of his parka like fairy streamers.
AS they dashed past both white men
had n heeting glimpse of a woman's
face beneath a furred hood, and then
It was gone. For a moment they stood
and stared after the fast-dwindline
team, while the breath of the Arctic
sea stiffened their garments and froze
their boot-soles to the ice.
did you see?" Fraser calculated.
Good Lord. it's a womanl A blonde
w%ornan!"
Emerson stirred himself. Non
sense! She must be a breed" said he
Breeds don't a yellow hair!" de-
4 clared the other.
Swiftly they bent in the free dogs
and dashed the team to a run. They
felt the chill of death in their bones,
and instead of riding they ran with the
sled till their blood beat painfully,
Their outer coverings were like shells
their underclothes were soaked, and al
though their going was difficult and
clumsy they dared not stop. for this is
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1910-10-24

An hour later they dropped from the
plain, down through a gutter-hke gully
to the river, where they found a trail,
~glass-hard beneath it's downy covering.
A cold breath sucked up from the
sea; ahead they saw the ragged ice
appended by the. tide, u their course
was well marked now, so they swung
themselves upon the sled, while. the
dogs shook off their lethargy and broke
into their patterinG, tireless wolf-trot.
At length they came to a point where
the trail divided, one branch leading
off at right angles from the shore and
penetrating the hummocks that marked
the tide limit. Evidently 1t led to the
village which they knew lay somewhere
on the farther side, hidden by a mile
or more of sitting snow, so they altered
their course and bore out upon the
river.
The going here was SO rough that
both. men leaped from their seats and
ran beside the sled, one at the front,
the other guiding it from the rear. Up
and down over the ridges the ira led,
winding through the frozen -inequali-
ties, the dogs never breaking their
~tireless trot. They mounted a swelling
ridge and rushed down to h level
river ice beyond, but as they did so
they felt their footing sag Beneath
them, heard a shivering crealS on every
side, and, before they could do more
than cry out warningly. saw water ris-
ing about the sled-runners. The mo-
mentum of the heavy sledge. together
with the speed of the racing dogs,
forced them out upon the treacherous
ice before they could check their speed.
Emerson shouted, the dogs leaped, but
with a crash the ics CAV way, and for
a moment the water closed e him.
Clinging to the sled 20 save himself,
his weight slowed it down, and the
dogs stopped. "Fingerless'' Fraser
broke through in turn, gasping as the
icy water rose to his armpits. Slowly
at first the sled sank, till it fioated
half submerged, and this spot which a
moment before had seemed so safe and
solid became now a churning tangle
of broken fragments, men and dogs
struggling in a liquid that seemed dark
as syrup contrasted with the surround
ing Wilderness. The lead animals, under
whose feet the ice was still firm,
turned inquiringly, then settled on their
launches with lolling tongues. The
pair next ahead OF the sledge padded
frantically. straining to reach the solid
sheet beyond, but were held back by
their harness. Emerson used the sled
for a footing and endeavored to gain
the ice at one side, but 1t broke be-
meath him and he lunged in up to his
shoulders. Again he tried, but again
the Ice broke under his hand, more
easily now.
Fraser struggled TO get out in the
opposite direction. each man aiming
to secure an independent footing, but
their efforts only enlarged the pool.
The chill went through them like thin
blades. and they chartered gaspingly,
fighting with desperation, while the
wheel dogs. involved in the harness,
began to whine and cough. at which
Emerson shouted:
"Cut the team loose, quick.'S But
the other spat out a mouthful Of salt
water and spluttered:
II can't swiml"
Whejeupon the first speaker half
swan, lalf dragged himself through the
slush AID bYoken debris to the forward
