Kurilla? Best guide in Yukon forty year. Kurilla say: 'Must have dogs men like that!" He limped back again and solemnly offered his hand to each of the travellers in turn.
He was so remarkably beautiful that he must have attracted attention before long, and might perhaps have been restored to his home; but God knows what an age of horror and anguish was lived through by my father and my poor aunt Dall in that short, miserable space of time till he was found.
