His sinewy, knotted strength, his massive build, the breadth of shoulder and depth of chest mushing on long snow trails was the gymnasium that had contributed to these. The purser chuckled. "He's a good un, Mac is. They say he liked to have drowned Northrup after he had saved him." Elliot was again following with his eyes the lilt of the girl's movements.
This evening they held a meeting for the natives in camp, and I attended, but it seemed like a funeral without the friends now "mushing" on the Nome trail. She is called a good "stampeder," has a pleasant, smiling face, but is usually designated "notorious."
Inspector MacLean was present in person when the two man-hunters of the North-West Mounted returned to Faraway. Their reception was in the nature of a pageant. Gayly dressed voyageurs and trappers, singing old river songs that had been handed down to them from their fathers, unharnessed the dogs and dragged the cariole into town. In it sat Beresford, still unfit for long and heavy mushing.
One hundred yards up the stream Harold watched them, dumbfounded as to what they were doing. He saw Bill finish the writing, then place the larger on the monument, fastening it down with a large stone. Then he came mushing toward them. So intent were they upon their work that they didn't notice him until he was almost up to them.

"Much good it would have done you!" cried Nancy Ellen. "Wait until he comes, and you see him!" "You may do your mushing in private," said Kate. "I don't need a demonstration to convince me.
Such a trail, called a "sidling" trail in the vernacular of mushing, is always difficult and laborious to travel, for the sled slips continually off it into the loose snow or the ice cracks, and often for long stretches at a time one man must hold up the nose of the sled while the other toils at the handle-bars.
"I reckon, further, that if you know what's good for you you'll be mushing out of this as fast as your legs will carry you, unless you are looking for trouble. Git!" Tad gazed at the gold digger in amazement. "I I don't understand, Mr. Darwood." "Don't you understand plain English?
It was through no desire to embarrass Harold that he didn't assist him in putting down his trophy. He was simply giving the man full play. Bill stared at the caribou tracks in the snow, followed them a hundred feet, and then came mushing back. "You didn't seem to have put one in," he reported simply. "I didn't, eh?"
