"What!" the dog-musher exploded. "You don't mean to say . . .?"
"The very thing I mean. Here's your bandana. I'll write to you

Matt paused halfway down the gang-plank.
"He'll never stand the climate!" he shouted back. "Unless you clip

The gang-plank was hauled in, and the AURORA swang out from the
bank. Weedon Scott waved a last good-bye. Then he turned and bent
over White Fang, standing by his side.
"Now growl, damn you, growl," he said, as he patted the responsive
head and rubbed the flattening ears.
