dog train

When the dog-train reached the coast, there was a man waiting to intercept it: the news of the doctors probable coming had spread.

“Mush on,” in Alaska dog-train vernacular, means “march on,” being a corruption from the French word marchons.

It was ever a joy to meet them as I used to do once in summer by canoe trip, and then again in winter by dog-train.

Every Sunday evening I went over to the Fort, by canoe in summer, and dog-train in winter, and held service there.
