The next day we started down the glacier. So many sledges following each other promised some excitement and we got it. My sledge seemed around broadside. A warning cry caused me to jump over the sledge as a galloping dog team rushed into me full tilt. Ten dogs snapped the trace line and away they went just as another sledge jibed me for I was turning a little boy on to his face and nearly yanking the hind legs of a yup tied around his belly on top of the sledge.
Whatever Yandewining might be here it was - forking and cowling of dogs, yelling of men, and crying of children. Eventually we were straightened.
