Then, boring down through the
bitter day.
Sped the straining team of the
next relay,
And the cry, “Mush on!
Mnsh on!”
Again was the priceless freight
transferred,
To him who waited a sign,
a word,
And the next relay was gone.
And so the burden to Kasson
came,
And little he dreamed of
praise or fame,
Yet well, too well he knew,
Tii t of no avail was the task
begun,
If he faltered once on the final
run,
And three score miles to do.
His work. And again, “Mush o;i!
Mush o ,! ’
'till he gained the station of
Solomon.
‘‘Wait there!” came the terse
decree;
Storm—■and forty degrees below,
Landmarks lost in the drill
of snow,
Did Kasson wait? Not he!
Ever his desperate course he
held,

While the rage of the blizzard
beat and swelled.
Till lost in the wild snow-foam,
The huskies turned in their
tracks and stood,
Storm whipped, shorn of their
hardihood,
On the last relay to Nome.
Lost! Yet one of that splendid
team,
Balto, the block dog, eyes
agleain,
Answered ids master’s call,
Sprang to the lead and the trail
was found,
And S afety won, on the
sto r m-s vvept So u nd:
Balto, that saved them all!
Gunnar Ivasson has little
to say,
Oniy, ‘‘My Balto found the way,
His feet they go pretty sore!”
Yet Balto’s name is in many
lands,
And fashioned in rugged
bronze, lie stands,
A hero, forever more.
