Challenge of the Yukon: A Swindler Swindled

The Challenge of the Yukon! Can the swiftest, strongest of Eskimo lead dogs blazes the trail through storm and snow for Sergeant Preston as he meets the Challenge of the Yukon! Sergeant Preston was typical of the small band of northwest Mottet police who preserved law and order in the Yukon during the Gold Rush of 98.

That was the year that brought over 50,000 men swarming into the Klondike region and the greed for gold led to frequent violence and bloodshed. But in spite of the odds against them, the force preserved a splendid record in maintaining the right.

The challenge of the North was answered, and just as rule triumphant. Sargent Preston on patrol duty in the Yukon made many friends who were always glad to see him. One of these was Ab Crowley, who lived with his wife in a small cabin several miles north of three forks.

A vicious storm had swept wind and snow in the face of the Māori as he drove his team toward the small settlement and the prospect of a warm cup of tea with the crows was something he looked forward to. The great dog king ran ahead of the sled cutting tracks in the snow.

On king! On you huskies! Not much for the king. Ah, there's the cannon. It's good to see that light. Oh king, oh you huskies. Hey, there's such a prestige. How are you? You're fine, I'm not inclined to see you.

You want to have a cup of tea? Mrs. Just me, Sam. I've been looking forward to having a cup of tea with you ever since I left Broken Wishbone, Ab. How's Mrs. Grubb? Fine, just fine.
