That he might not share that fate he broke away into the greyness, tripping over snow ridges, falling into drifts, and bruising his body against the trunks of trees in the madness of his flight. His huskies added to his panic by following him.
At the Rink Rapids two native huskies, Teek and Koona, were added; and the celerity with which Buck broke them in took away Francois's breath. "Nevaire such a dog as dat Buck!" he cried. "No, nevaire! Heem worth one t'ousan' dollair, by Gar! Eh? Wot you say, Perrault?" And Perrault nodded. He was ahead of the record then, and gaining day by day.
He gave me a guide for the first three hundred miles of the journey, and the swiftest team of huskies he had. He smuggled me out to Selkirk, and gave me introductions to such men as could be trusted on the way. Before I left, I heard that they had made me an outlaw by placing a thousand dollars on my head.
Some of them didn't want to come, but we told them they'd better, and here they are." "A bunch of huskies," remarked the sentry, as he surveyed the prisoners critically. "You don't mean to say that just you five rounded up that gang?" The four privates merely grinned. "Looks like it, doesn't it?" answered the corporal with keen relish of the sentry's surprise.
The beast did not cringe and run away, zigzagging to avoid the bullets, stooping low on its legs, as is the habit of huskies when firearms are pointed at them; it sat there patiently blinking, a little in advance of its four grey comrades, with a mingled expression of amusement and boredom in its attitude, like a sleepy old bachelor uncle at a Christmas entertainment when Clown and Harlequin commence their threadbare jests and fooleries.
She wished to get away, not so much from him as from herself, and she encouraged the huskies into wilder and wilder speed. She took the steep river-bank in full career and dashed like a whirlwind through the town and home. Never in her life had she been in such a condition; never had she experienced such terrible anger.
Her face betrayed neither annoyance nor pleasure she might never have visited Huskies' Island. In the presence of so much that was commonplace, Spurling's fantastic account of what had happened to him on the Forbidden River seemed absurd and outrageous.
Turning to the quarter behind his back from which he had seemed to hear her speaking last, he said quietly, "But I shan't be dead." Then he rose up and entered the shack. However lightly he travels and however hard the snow may have packed, a man who has only two huskies and is handicapped by a body just recovered from sickness does not make much speed in winter travelling.
Like gettin' money from home! Get your blankets and line up for the chance of a lifetime. "Then listen, boys! I want six rough carpenters the rougher the better mine work. Eight dollars a day, eight hours dollar an hour! Fee two dollars. Think of that, huskies! Can ye swing a hammer or push a saw? You're on if you can sign up! Ship ye out this evenin'. A snap! A cinch!
When the noise was loudest, walrus hides booming and priests a- singing, I says, 'Are you ready? Gawd! Not a start, not a shot of the eyes my way, not the twitch of a muscle. 'I knew, she answers, slow and steady as a calm spring tide. 'Where? 'The high bank at the edge of the ice, I whispers back. 'Jump out when I give the word. "Did I say there was no end of huskies? Well, there was no end.
