Butch, though Malemute, had a
strong strain Of collie In him. It gave
him sense Of responsibility. His bus
mess was to see that the team kept
strung out on the trail, and Butch was

carried pounds of 1t In the tufts OF
hair that rose from their backs. An
icy pyramid had to be knocked from
the sled every half-hour. The snow
shoes were heavy with white slush.
Densely laden spruce boughs brushed
the faces Of the men and showered
them with unexpected little ava
lanches.
They took turns in going ahead OF
the team and breaking trail. It was
heavy, muscle grinding work Before
noon they were both utterly fatigued.
They dragged forward through the
slush, lifting their laden feet sluggish

did, but 1t seemed to them that every
step must be the last.
| Shortly after noon the storm wore
itself out. The temperature had been
steadily falling and now it took a rapid
drop. They we're passing through tim
Der. and on a little slope they built
with good deal of difficulty a fire.
BY careful nursing they soon had a
great bonfire going, in front of which
they put their wet socks, mukluks,
scarfs and parkas to dry. The toes OF
the dogs had become packed with little
Ice balls. Gordon and Holt had to go
carefully over the feet Of each animal
to dig these out
The old-timer thawed out a slab Of
dried salmon till the fat began to
frizzle and fed each husky a pound Of
the fish and q lump Of tallow. He and
Gordon made d pot Of tea and ate some
meat sandwiches they had brought
with them, to save cooking until night.
When they took the trail again 1t
was in moccasins instead of mukluks.
The weather was growing steadily
colder. and with each degree Of fall in
the thermometer the trail was easier.
"Mushing at fifty below zero is all
right when 1t Is all right" explained
Holt in the words of the old prospec-
tor. ."But when it isn't all right It's
hi"
ut Is not fifty below yet, is It'll"
"Nope. But she's on the way. When
your breath makes kinder cracking
noise she's fifty"
There soon was a crust on the snow
that held up the dogs and the sled so
/ that trail breaking was not necessary.
The little party pounded steadily over
the barren hills There was no sign
of life except what they brought with
them into the greater silence beyond.
Each Of the men wrapped long
scarf around his mouth and nose for
protection, and as the part in front Of
his face became a sheet of ice shifted
