40 THE UPPER YUKON 



Next came a section where the train seemed 

 to be crawling under huge boulders, and then 

 hanging almost by the teeth above an almost 

 bottomless abyss with a foaming stream tear- 

 ing through it. Here was a notable bridge 

 spanning a canyon two hundred and fifty feet 

 deep and here the White Pass trail was left 

 behind. After a ride of an hour and a half 

 we reached White Pass Summit, three thou- 

 sand feet above sea level. Here the Stars and 

 Stripes and the red flag of Britain float side 

 by side, because it is the boundary line be- 

 tween the United States and the Yukon Terri- 

 tory, belonging to the Dominion of Canada. 

 If you want to, you can stand with one foot 

 on British soil and the other on Uncle Sam's 

 possessions.
