Breakfast eaten and the slim camp-outfit1 lashed2 to the sled, the men turned their backs on the cheery fire and launched out into the darkness. At once began to rise the cries that were fiercely sad - cries that called through the darkness and cold to one another and answered back.
Conversation ceased. Daylight came at nine o'clock. At midday the sky to the south warmed to rose-colour, and marked where the bulge3 of the earth intervened between the meridian4 sun and the northern world. But the rose- colour swiftly faded. The grey light of day that remained lasted until three o'clock, when it, too, faded, and the pall5 of the Arctic night descended6 upon the lone7 and silent land.
As darkness came on, the hunting-cries to right and left and rear drew closer - so close that more than once they sent surges of fear through the toiling8 dogs, throwing them into short-lived panics.
At the conclusion of one such panic, when he and Henry had got the dogs back in the traces, Bill said:
"I wisht they'd strike game somewheres, an' go away an' leave us alone.""They do get on the nerves horrible," Henry sympathised.
They spoke9 no more until camp was made.
Henry was bending over and adding ice to the babbling10 pot of beans when he was startled by the sound of a blow, an exclamation11 from Bill, and a sharp snarling12 cry of pain from among the dogs. He straightened up in time to see a dim form disappearing across the snow into the shelter of the dark. Then he saw Bill, standing13 amid the dogs, half triumphant14, half crestfallen15, in one hand a stout16 club, in the other the tail and part of the body of a sun-cured salmon17.
"It got half of it," he announced; "but I got a whack18 at it jes' the same.
D'ye hear it squeal19?""What'd it look like?" Henry asked.
"Couldn't see. But it had four legs an' a mouth an' hair an' looked like any dog.""Must be a tame wolf, I reckon.""It's damned tame, whatever it is, comin' in here at feedin' time an' gettin' its whack of fish."That night, when supper was finished and they sat on the oblong box and pulled at their pipes, the circle of gleaming eyes drew in even closer than before.
"I wisht they'd spring up a bunch of moose or something, an' go away an' leave us alone," Bill said.
Henry grunted20 with an intonation21 that was not all sympathy, and for a quarter of an hour they sat on in silence, Henry staring at the fire, and Bill at the circle of eyes that burned in the darkness just beyond the firelight.
"I wisht we was pullin' into McGurry right now," he began again.
"Shut up your wishin' and your croakin'," Henry burst out angrily.
"Your stomach's sour. That's what's ailin' you. Swallow a spoonful of sody, an' you'll sweeten up wonderful an' be more pleasant company."In the morning Henry was aroused by fervid22 blasphemy23 that proceeded from the mouth of Bill. Henry propped24 himself up on an elbow and looked to see his comrade standing among the dogs beside the replenished26 fire, his arms raised in objurgation, his face distorted with passion.
"Hello!" Henry called. "What's up now?""Frog's gone," came the answer.
"No.""I tell you yes."Henry leaped out of the blankets and to the dogs. He counted them with care, and then joined his partner in cursing the power of the Wild thathad robbed them of another dog.
"Frog was the strongest dog of the bunch," Bill pronounced finally.
"An' he was no fool dog neither," Henry added.
And so was recorded the second epitaph in two days.
A gloomy breakfast was eaten, and the four remaining dogs wereharnessed to the sled. The day was a repetition of the days that had gonebefore. The men toiled27 without speech across the face of the frozen world.
The silence was unbroken save by the cries of their pursuers, that, unseen,hung upon their rear. With the coming of night in the mid-afternoon, thecries sounded closer as the pursuers drew in according to their custom; andthe dogs grew excited and frightened, and were guilty of panics thattangled the traces and further depressed28 the two men.
"There, that'll fix you fool critters," Bill said with satisfaction thatnight, standing erect29 at completion of his task.
Henry left the cooking to come and see. Not only had his partner tiedthe dogs up, but he had tied them, after the Indian fashion, with sticks.
About the neck of each dog he had fastened a leather thong30. To this, and soclose to the neck that the dog could not get his teeth to it, he had tied astout stick four or five feet in length. The other end of the stick, in turn,was made fast to a stake in the ground by means of a leather thong. Thedog was unable to gnaw31 through the leather at his own end of the stick.
The stick prevented him from getting at the leather that fastened the other end.
Henry nodded his head approvingly.
"It's the only contraption that'll ever hold One Ear," he said. "He cangnaw through leather as clean as a knife an' jes' about half as quick. Theyall'll be here in the mornin' hunkydory.""You jes' bet they will," Bill affirmed. "If one of em' turns up missin',I'll go without my coffee.""They jes' know we ain't loaded to kill," Henry remarked at bed- time,indicating the gleaming circle that hemmed32 them in. "If we could put acouple of shots into 'em, they'd be more respectful. They come closerevery night. Get the firelight out of your eyes an' look hard - there! Didyou see that one?"For some time the two men amused themselves with watching themovement of vague forms on the edge of the firelight. By looking closelyand steadily33 at where a pair of eyes burned in the darkness, the form of theanimal would slowly take shape. They could even see these forms move at times.
A sound among the dogs attracted the men's attention. One Ear wasuttering quick, eager whines34, lunging at the length of his stick toward thedarkness, and desisting now and again in order to make frantic35 attacks onthe stick with his teeth.
"Look at that, Bill," Henry whispered.
Full into the firelight, with a stealthy, sidelong movement, glided36 adoglike animal. It moved with commingled37 mistrust and daring, cautiouslyobserving the men, its attention fixed38 on the dogs. One Ear strained thefull length of the stick toward the intruder and whined39 with eagerness.
"That fool One Ear don't seem scairt much," Bill said in a low tone.
"It's a she-wolf," Henry whispered back, "an' that accounts for Fattyan' Frog. She's the decoy for the pack. She draws out the dog an' then allthe rest pitches in an' eats 'm up."The fire crackled. A log fell apart with a loud spluttering noise. At thesound of it the strange animal leaped back into the darkness.
"Henry, I'm a-thinkin'," Bill announced.
"Thinkin' what?""I'm a-thinkin' that was the one I lambasted with the club.""Ain't the slightest doubt in the world," was Henry's response.
"An' right here I want to remark," Bill went on, "that that animal'sfamilyarity with campfires is suspicious an' immoral40.""It knows for certain more'n a self-respectin' wolf ought to know,"Henry agreed. "A wolf that knows enough to come in with the dogs atfeedin' time has had experiences.""Ol' Villan had a dog once that run away with the wolves," Billcogitates aloud. "I ought to know. I shot it out of the pack in a moosepasture over 'on Little Stick. An' Ol' Villan cried like a baby. Hadn't seen itfor three years, he said. Ben with the wolves all that time.""I reckon you've called the turn, Bill. That wolf's a dog, an' it's eatenfish many's the time from the hand of man.""An if I get a chance at it, that wolf that's a dog'll be jes' meat," Billdeclared. "We can't afford to lose no more animals.""But you've only got three cartridges41," Henry objected.
"I'll wait for a dead sure shot," was the reply.
In the morning Henry renewed the fire and cooked breakfast to theaccompaniment of his partner's snoring.
"You was sleepin' jes' too comfortable for anything," Henry told him,as he routed him out for breakfast. "I hadn't the heart to rouse you."Bill began to eat sleepily. He noticed that his cup was empty andstarted to reach for the pot. But the pot was beyond arm's length and beside Henry.
"Say, Henry," he chided gently, "ain't you forgot somethin'?"Henry looked about with great carefulness and shook his head. Bill held up the empty cup.
"You don't get no coffee," Henry announced.
"Ain't run out?" Bill asked anxiously.
"Nope.""Ain't thinkin' it'll hurt my digestion42?""Nope."A flush of angry blood pervaded43 Bill's face.
"Then it's jes' warm an' anxious I am to be hearin' you explainyourself," he said.
"Spanker's gone," Henry answered.
Without haste, with the air of one resigned to misfortune Bill turnedhis head, and from where he sat counted the dogs.
"How'd it happen?" he asked apathetically44.
Henry shrugged45 his shoulders. "Don't know. Unless One Ear gnawed'm loose. He couldn't a-done it himself, that's sure.""The darned cuss." Bill spoke gravely and slowly, with no hint of theanger that was raging within. "Jes' because he couldn't chew himself loose,he chews Spanker loose.""Well, Spanker's troubles is over anyway; I guess he's digested by thistime an' cavortin' over the landscape in the bellies46 of twenty differentwolves," was Henry's epitaph on this, the latest lost dog. "Have somecoffee, Bill."But Bill shook his head.
"Go on," Henry pleaded, elevating the pot.
Bill shoved his cup aside. "I'll be ding-dong-danged if I do. I said Iwouldn't if ary dog turned up missin', an' I won't.""It's darn good coffee," Henry said enticingly47.
But Bill was stubborn, and he ate a dry breakfast washed down withmumbled curses at One Ear for the trick he had played.
"I'll tie 'em up out of reach of each other to-night," Bill said, as they took the trail.
They had travelled little more than a hundred yards, when Henry, whowas in front, bent48 down and picked up something with which hissnowshoe had collided. It was dark, and he could not see it, but herecognised it by the touch. He flung it back, so that it struck the sled andbounced along until it fetched up on Bill's snowshoes.
"Mebbe you'll need that in your business," Henry said.
Bill uttered an exclamation. It was all that was left of Spanker - thestick with which he had been tied.
"They ate 'm hide an' all," Bill announced. "The stick's as clean as awhistle. They've ate the leather offen both ends. They're damn hungry,Henry, an' they'll have you an' me guessin' before this trip's over."Henry laughed defiantly49. "I ain't been trailed this way by wolvesbefore, but I've gone through a whole lot worse an' kept my health. Takesmore'n a handful of them pesky critters to do for yours truly, Bill, my son.""I don't know, ," Bill muttered ominously50.
"Well, you'll know all right when we pull into McGurry.""I ain't feelin' special enthusiastic," Bill persisted.
"You're off colour, that's what's the matter with you," Henrydogmatised. "What you need is quinine, an' I'm goin' to dose you up stiffas soon as we make McGurry."Bill grunted his disagreement with the diagnosis51, and lapsed52 intosilence. The day was like all the days. Light came at nine o'clock. Attwelve o'clock the southern horizon was warmed by the unseen sun; andthen began the cold grey of afternoon that would merge53, three hours later,into night.
It was just after the sun's futile54 effort to appear, that Bill slipped therifle from under the sled-lashings and said:
"You keep right on, Henry, I'm goin' to see what I can see.""You'd better stick by the sled," his partner protested. "You've only gotthree cartridges, an' there's no tellin' what might happen.""Who's croaking55 now?" Bill demanded triumphantly56.
Henry made no reply, and plodded57 on alone, though often he castanxious glances back into the grey solitude58 where his partner haddisappeared. An hour later, taking advantage of the cut-offs around whichthe sled had to go, Bill arrived.
"They're scattered59 an' rangin' along wide," he said: "keeping up with usan' lookin' for game at the same time. You see, they're sure of us, only theyknow they've got to wait to get us. In the meantime they're willin' to pickup60 anything eatable that comes handy.""You mean they THINK they're sure of us," Henry objected pointedly61.
But Bill ignored him. "I seen some of them. They're pretty thin. Theyain't had a bite in weeks I reckon, outside of Fatty an' Frog an' Spanker; an'
there's so many of 'em that that didn't go far. They're remarkable62 thin.
Their ribs63 is like wash-boards, an' their stomachs is right up against theirbackbones. They're pretty desperate, I can tell you. They'll be goin' mad,yet, an' then watch out."A few minutes later, Henry, who was now travelling behind the sled,emitted a low, warning whistle. Bill turned and looked, then quietlystopped the dogs. To the rear, from around the last bend and plainly intoview, on the very trail they had just covered, trotted64 a furry65, slinking form.
Its nose was to the trail, and it trotted with a peculiar66, sliding, effortlessgait. When they halted, it halted, throwing up its head and regarding themsteadily with nostrils67 that twitched68 as it caught and studied the scent69 ofthem.
"It's the she-wolf," Bill answered.
The dogs had laid down in the snow, and he walked past them to joinhis partner in the sled. Together they watched the strange animal that hadpursued them for days and that had already accomplished70 the destructionof half their dog-team.
After a searching scrutiny71, the animal trotted forward a few steps. Thisit repeated several times, till it was a short hundred yards away. It paused,head up, close by a clump72 of spruce trees, and with sight and scent studiedthe outfit of the watching men. It looked at them in a strangely wistful way,after the manner of a dog; but in its wistfulness there was none of the dogaffection. It was a wistfulness bred of hunger, as cruel as its own fangs73, asmerciless as the frost itself.
It was large for a wolf, its gaunt frame advertising74 the lines of ananimal that was among the largest of its kind.
"Stands pretty close to two feet an' a half at the shoulders," Henrycommented. "An' I'll bet it ain't far from five feet long.""Kind of strange colour for a wolf," was Bill's criticism. "I never seena red wolf before. Looks almost cinnamon to me."The animal was certainly not cinnamon-coloured. Its coat was the truewolf-coat. The dominant75 colour was grey, and yet there was to it a faintreddish hue76 - a hue that was baffling, that appeared and disappeared, thatwas more like an illusion of the vision, now grey, distinctly grey, andagain giving hints and glints of a vague redness of colour not classifiablein terms of ordinary experience.
"Looks for all the world like a big husky sled-dog," Bill said. "Iwouldn't be s'prised to see it wag its tail.""Hello, you husky!" he called. "Come here, you whatever-your-name-is.""Ain't a bit scairt of you," Henry laughed.
Bill waved his hand at it threateningly and shouted loudly; but theanimal betrayed no fear. The only change in it that they could notice wasan accession of alertness. It still regarded them with the mercilesswistfulness of hunger. They were meat, and it was hungry; and it wouldlike to go in and eat them if it dared.
"Look here, Henry," Bill said, unconsciously lowering his voice to awhisper because of what he imitated. "We've got three cartridges. But it's adead shot. Couldn't miss it. It's got away with three of our dogs, an' weoughter put a stop to it. What d'ye say?"Henry nodded his consent. Bill cautiously slipped the gun from underthe sled-lashing. The gun was on the way to his shoulder, but it never gotthere. For in that instant the she-wolf leaped sidewise from the trail intothe clump of spruce trees and disappeared.
The two men looked at each other. Henry whistled long andcomprehendingly.
"I might have knowed it," Bill chided himself aloud as he replaced thegun. "Of course a wolf that knows enough to come in with the dogs atfeedin' time, 'd know all about shooting-irons. I tell you right now, Henry,that critter's the cause of all our trouble. We'd have six dogs at the presenttime, 'stead of three, if it wasn't for her. An' I tell you right now, Henry, I'mgoin' to get her. She's too smart to be shot in the open. But I'm goin' to layfor her. I'll bushwhack her as sure as my name is Bill.""You needn't stray off too far in doin' it," his partner admonished77. "Ifthat pack ever starts to jump you, them three cartridges'd be wuth nomore'n three whoops78 in hell. Them animals is damn hungry, an' once theystart in, they'll sure get you, Bill."They camped early that night. Three dogs could not drag the sled sofast nor for so long hours as could six, and they were showingunmistakable signs of playing out. And the men went early to bed, Billfirst seeing to it that the dogs were tied out of gnawing- reach of oneanother.
But the wolves were growing bolder, and the men were aroused morethan once from their sleep. So near did the wolves approach, that the dogsbecame frantic with terror, and it was necessary to replenish25 the fire fromtime to time in order to keep the adventurous79 marauders at safer distance.
"I've hearn sailors talk of sharks followin' a ship," Bill remarked, as hecrawled back into the blankets after one such replenishing of the fire.
"Well, them wolves is land sharks. They know their business better'n wedo, an' they ain't a-holdin' our trail this way for their health. They're goin'
to get us. They're sure goin' to get us, Henry.""They've half got you a'ready, a-talkin' like that," Henry retortedsharply. "A man's half licked when he says he is. An' you're half eatenfrom the way you're goin' on about it.""They've got away with better men than you an' me," Bill answered.
"Oh, shet up your croakin'. You make me all-fired tired."Henry rolled over angrily on his side, but was surprised that Bill madeno similar display of temper. This was not Bill's way, for he was easilyangered by sharp words. Henry thought long over it before he went tosleep, and as his eyelids80 fluttered down and he dozed81 off, the thought inhis mind was: "There's no mistakin' it, Bill's almighty82 blue. I'll have tocheer him up to-morrow."
