 Description: IN THE cabin situated on Lot 10, Block E, Water Street, Eagle City, Alaska, four men were striving to wear away the torment-laden, sleepless Yukon night. It was twelve o'clock by the Waterbury watch which hung on the wall, but save for a slight murkiness there was no sign of darkness. The mosquitoes hummed with a fiendish pertinacity that effectually precluded sleep. The thermometer registered one hundred degrees of torture. A thick smoke from four pipes and a smudge-fire hung cloudlike over the room, but entirely failed to disturb the countless pests.
