They cry aloud in their sleep at night. In their sleep they moan and groan with the pain of their weariness. And in the day, as they stagger along the trail, they cry under their breaths. They are funny wolves. "We pass Fort Yukon. We pass Fort Hamilton. We pass Minook. THEY CRY ALOUD IN THEIR SLEEP AT NIGHT IN THEIR SLEEP THEY MOAN AND GROAN WITH THE PAIN OF THEIR WEARINESS AND IN THE DAY AS THEY STAGGER ALONG THE TRAIL THEY CRY UNDER THEIR BREATHS THEY ARE FUNNY WOLVES WE PASS FORT YUKON WE PASS FORT HAMILTON WE PASS MINOOK
 Where do we go? They do not say. Only do they say, 'On! on! We will go on!' "They are very weary. They have travelled many hundreds of miles, and they do not understand the way of the trail. Besides, their cough is very bad--the dry cough that makes strong men swear and weak men cry. But they go on. Every day they go on. Never do they rest the dogs. Always do they buy new dogs. At every camp, at every post, at every Indian village, do they cut out the tired dogs and put in fresh dogs. They have much money, money without end, and like water they spend it. They are crazy? Sometimes I think so, for there is a devil in them that drives them on and on, always on. What is it that they try to find? It is not gold. Never do they dig in the ground. I think a long time. Then I think it is a man they try to find. But what man? Never do we see the man. Yet are they like wolves on the trail of the kill. But they are funny wolves, soft wolves, baby wolves who do not understand the way of the trail. THE DOGS AND WE START DOWN THE YUKON WHERE DO WE GO THEY DO NOT SAY ONLY DO THEY SAY ON ON WE WILL GO ON THEY ARE VERY WEARY THEY HAVE TRAVELED MANY HUNDREDS OF MILES AND THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE WAY OF THE TRAIL BESIDES THEIR COUGH IS VERY BAD THE DRY COUGH THAT MAKES STRONG MEN SWEAR AND WEAK MEN CRY BUT THEY GO ON EVERY DAY THEY GO ON NEVER DO THEY REST THE DOGS ALWAYS DO THEY BUY NEW DOGS AT EVERY CAMP AT EVERY POST AT EVERY INDIAN VILLAGE DO THEY CUT OUT THE TIRED DOGS AND PUT IN FRESH DOGS THEY HAVE SPENT MUCH MONEY MONEY WITHOUT END AND LIKE WATER THEY SPEND IT THEY ARE CRAZY SOMETIMES I THINK SO FOR THERE IS A DEVIL IN THEM THAT DRIVES THEM ON AND ON ALWAYS ON WHAT IS IT THAT THEY TRY TO FIND IT IS NOT GOLD NEVER DO THEY DIG IN THE GROUND I THINK A LONG TIME THEN I THINK IT IS A MAN THEY TRY TO FIND BUT WHAT MAN NEVER DO WE SEE THE MAN YET THEY ARE LIKE WOLVES ON THE TRAIL OF THE KILL BUT THEY ARE FUNNY WOLVES SOFT WOLVES BABY WOLVES WHO DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE WAY OF THE TRAIL
