Chapter 1: The bell of the river steamer Dawson clanged farewell to the Mounted Police post at the Big Salmon. Cast-off lines swished shrilly through the crisp autumn air. Groaning frosty protests, the gangplank came in. As the Upper Yukon boat swung her nose against the current, a resonant shout rose from those on her cluttered decks. Far farers these, bronzed men and huge, and though outward bound, still clad in parkas, furs, and mackinaws. Off every Klondike creek were they foregathered, glutted with gold, kings of Eldorado.
