Présentation de l'éditeur
To labour and to be content with that a man hath is a sweet life ;but he that findeth a treasure is above them both. Ecclesiasticus. OF course they were bound for the Klondyke. Every creature in the North-W est was bound for the Klondyke. Men from the South too, and men from the East, had left their ploughs and their pens, their factories, pulpits, and easy-chairs, each man like a magnetic needle suddenly set free and turning sharply to the North; all set pointing the self-same way since that July day in 97, when the Excelsior sailed into San Francisco harbour, bringing from the uttermost regions at the top of the map close upon a million dollars in nuggets and in gold-dust. Some distance this side of the Arctic Circle, on the right bank of the Yukon, a little detachment of that great army pressing northward, had been wrecked early in the month of September. They had realized, on leaving the ocean-going ship that landed them at St. Michael s Island (near the mouth of the great river), that they could not hope to reach Dawson that year. But instead of getting cold feet, as the phrase for discouragement ran, and turning back as thousands did, or putting in the winter on the coast, they determined, with an eye to the spring rush, to cover as many as possible of the seventeen hundred miles of waterway before navigation closed.
