Challenge of the Yukon: The Plan That Failed

The Challenge of the Khan. Khan King! Khan Yupofki! Wonder Dog King, swiftest and 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 North West mounted police, who preserved law and order in the new North West Country, where the greed for wealth and power led to frequent violence and bloodshed.

But in spite of the odds against them, Sergeant Preston and his Wonder Dog King met that challenge, and Justice Rule Triumphant. As the steamer City of Seattle knows its way through the Lynn Canal, its engines straining, two young men isolated themselves from the crowd that swarmed the decks, both of them looking toward the horizon beyond them.

Wonder how soon we'll shine it? We long now. What Ferguson says is true. There's a man that knows the Yukon fall. Boy, we were mighty lucky to bump into him. Huh. Why, what's wrong? Wrong. Nothing's wrong, exactly. Except that I don't trust that fellow.

I don't know why not. The advice he gave us about what kind of an outfit to buy was sure come in handy. He says almost all to Chaco's. Well, that's what they call green horns in this country.

Load themselves down with more stuff and they can use. Yeah. Another thing. He knows the trails. If you know so much about the Yukon, why didn't he stay up there? Or if he left, how come he got back to the States, bro?

Well, he says he got kind of homesick. Funny thing, though. He was telling me this morning that once you've lived up north, it gets in your blood. That's why he's going back. Listen, John. So it's all right with me who you're friendly with.
