The Challenge of the Yukon! Unking! Unk, youarski! No wonder Dog King's swiftest and strongest of Eskimo lead dogs blazes the trail through storm and snow for Sajn Preston, as he meets The Challenge of the Yukon!
Sajn Preston was typical of the small band of Northwest-Nautted Police who preserve law and order in the new Northwest 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.
Old Captain McCarthy had retired from his sailing ship, and for two summers had panned gold in the Yukon. His pet parrot Skipper was his constant companion, and had spent many years on the sea with him.
The captain was a hearty old salt with a fondant stories, and Sergeant Preston, of the Northwest knotted, like to spend evenings with the old man listening to his tales of the sea. Yes, Sergeant, here we are, skipper and me, dropping anchor in the Yukon again.
We both missed the swing of the sea, but last summer we panned enough gold to give us a calm winter in California with no hard blows to bother us. Well, it's nice to give you back, Captain.
King and I both missed you when you left, didn't we boy? Well, listen to that bird. He hasn't forgotten King's name. He remembered it as soon as he heard it. I believe King remember Skipper.
Skipper has a sharp memory. He's nobody's fool and that's a fact. You still think he's smarter than my dog? I'll wager a Galanogragy has a better memory. Remember when I taught him to shut daughters to King the way you do?
