The dogs meanwhile gave some excitement.

Starting on hard ice with a light load nothing could hold them, and they dashed off over everything--it seemed wonderful that we all reached the floe in safety.

Wilson and I drive one team, whilst Evans and Meares drive the other.

I withhold my opinion of the dogs in much doubt as to whether they are going to be a real success--but the ponies are going to be real good.

They work with such extraordinary steadiness, stepping out briskly and cheerfully, following in each other's tracks.
