Challenge of the Yukon: The Epidemic

The Challenge of the Yukon! Un-King! Un-King! Un-King! The Wonder Dog King, swiftness and strongest of Eskimo lead dogs, blazed 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 Monty Police, who preserved 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 ruled triumpent. Sergeant Preston of the Northwest Monet Police was driving his hug team west over the smooth frozen surface of the Pelly River. Suddenly he noticed a rude shelter on the back of the stream covering two figures huddled under fur robes.

He called his dog. Look! Hello there! Hello there! You all right? What's wrong man? You heard? I'm sick. My pardon, he got sick first. He's worse. Is your throat sore? Yes, I swear. I can't talk very well.

Turn your head this way and stick out your tongue. Let me look at your throat. No. We got you back to town right away. What's wrong, Sergeant? I have a look at your partner. What's his name?

Pete. Pete Lass. Pete, Pete, wake up. Pete, yes, there wasn't much we can do for him. His he? His dad. He did. I'll just have to cover him up and leave him here. I'll get you back to Org with Pete, as fast as possible.

I think you have diphtheria. Oh, Pete, I tried to help him. There's a doctor in Org with me, old knock Pierce. If I can get you there soon enough, he can help you. I'm afraid there ain't much use.
