farthest north. Kudlooktoo went
ahead with Marvin TO search for the
best train. Harrigan remained with
the dogs.
The paths or Harrigan and Kud-
looktoo then by chance crossed and
Marvin became infuriated when he
came up. He felt that Harrigan
should not have followed him. 50 he
ordered Harrigan away from the
party.
kudlooktoo resolved then to XII

and picked up a rifle. according TO
his story. which Harrigan confirmed
A moment later from over the ice
Kudlooktoo returned TO the sled and
said he had killed Marvin.
