GESHE, AN ESKIMO SLEDGE DOG 



The leading dog in the author's team. She runs on a trace about 

 thirty-five feet long, and leads the team any way at a word from the 

 driver. Sledge dogs are handsome but treacherous, and have been 

 known to kill and eat helpless people and children. 





MY DRIVERS 



Johannes and Julius in their winter furs. Most travellers take two drivers, 

 one to control the sledge, the other to drive the dogs, and to help one 

 another in the difficult task of building a snow house for the night's shelter. 

 All the Eskimos are marvellous pathfinders.
