The weather had grown steadily colder since we reached the Yukon slope, and for two days before reaching Circle the thermometer had stood between 40° and 50° below zero. It was all right for us to push on, the trail was good and nearly all down-hill, and there were road-houses every ten or twelve miles.
Then we crossed a high ridge and dropped out of Innoko waters into the valley of the Yukatna, a tributary of the Yukon, and passed down this valley for thirty or forty miles, and then across some more broken country to the Yukon. At one of the road-houses a woman was stopping, going in with three or four large sled loads of millinery and "ladies' furnishings."
As over-contractor on the Baghdad railway I have the privilege of prior accommodation at all road-houses in this province for myself and my attendants. And in addition there are with me certain Turkish officers, whose rights I dare say you will not dispute." Monty did not laugh, although Fred was chuckling in confident enjoyment of the situation. "You need a lesson in manners," said Monty.
One grows anxious, after four months on the trail, to be done with it; to draw as quickly as may be to one's "thawing-out" place. One even becomes a little impatient of the continual dog talk and mining talk of the road-houses, to which one has listened all the winter.
