The weather out of Oregon had been rough, and it wasn't until the steamship Portland approached the dock at Skagway that the passengers could come on deck. A young man whose clean cut features were alight with eagerness stood beside an older man whose clerical collar marked him as a minister.

side by side at their feet were two pieces of luggage, a very similar design. The boy, Grinn, as he looked at the bags, then turned to the man next to him. Excuse me, sir. You're a minister, aren't you?

That's right, sir. Peterson's my name. Mine's Bob Kelly. I'm glad to know you. Hey, noticed you as we came aboard, Chip? I noticed you too, Reverend. Fact is, the steward almost gave you my bag instead of your own.

Oh? We must have bought our luggage in the same shop. What did you get yours as he had it? Yes, did you? Yes. My old was about to fall apart and I needed a bag with a sturdy lock on it for this trip.

I got most of my money in mind. We do have a lot in common. Are you going to Alaska or the U-Cart? I'm heading for Dawson. Hey, we're a ducky. Yes, we'll be a few minutes before we're able to go ashore.
