Snow-shoes and Sledges / A Sequel to "The Fur-Seal's Tooth"

The narrative follows a band of travelers who push into Arctic Alaska and up the Yukon, wintering at a mission, organizing sled-dog teams, and coping with illness, mutiny, and the hazards of ice, wolves, and mountain blizzards. Episodes alternate between river steamers and mining camps, the discovery of a curious relic, spelunking among prehistoric bones, and close encounters with local Indigenous communities and hunters. Recurrent themes include self-reliance, resourcefulness, and group loyalty as the characters undertake rescues, face legal and moral questions in the gold fields, and press onward toward the coastal settlements.
