There's dogs and to spare at all our camps, and I don't care a curse if you run the outfit to death." To a man of Gouter's breed the order was sufficient. Half Eskimo, half white man, he was a savage of the wild, born and bred to the fierce northern trail, one of Labrador's hereditary fur hunters by sea and land. Speed on the fiercest trail was the dream of his vanity.
But failure must not be considered. No man could contemplate failure and face the winter trail in the barren desolation of the lofty interior of Labrador's untracked wild. The austerity of the country was well-nigh overwhelming. The nakedness of it all suggested a skeleton world robbed of everything that could make existence possible.
Bat too had spoken out of his years of experience of the moods of Labrador's seasons. But somehow the sight of it all gave him none of the joy with which it had inspired the others. The evil night of threatened disaster had become only a memory.
It was storming outside now, one of those fierce wind storms of Labrador's winter, liable to blow for days or only for a few hours. He and Harker were closeted together in the warm comfort of the office on the hill.
His resources of spiritual power; his mental force; his virility of personality. All these things were concentrated. They were no longer sprawling, groping, seeking the great purpose of his life as they had been in the lumber camp of the Skandinavia. A feeling akin to triumph filled the man's heart as he gazed out upon the pleasant light of Labrador's late summer day.
And so it was ho for the land of "bared boughs and grieving winds"! Labrador's uncertain game supply presented more than one vexed problem for Hubbard to solve.
Shootin' up her outfit an' dumpin' her into a snowdrift up on Labrador's mighty hard sort of courtin'. Grabbin' her up an' settin' her hospital nurse to her enemies, in a house full of a bunch of tough men don't seem the surest way to make her smile on the feller that did it. Then most generally beatin' the game she set out to play looks like makin' fer trouble plenty. It sure seems that way.
