IICHEUKtt’S LOG
(Second Day)
Monday morning found the Che
chako at the Seward station of the
Alaska railroad. The train left at
7:30, climbed slowly as far as mile
12, and then gathered speed as it des
1 cended the other side of the slope. At
, mile nineteen the train stopped for a
moment, just long enough to allow
the Chechako to alight with his pack.
The pack already seemed to weigh
more thanv fifty pounds, so he de
posited the pack on the porch of the
home of Mr. Flynn at Mile 19.
• Mr. Flynn was nursing the con
larkerous motor of the railroad gas
car. Gas cars, it seems, suffer as
many ills as humans. But in a fewr
moments Mr. Flynn had the motor
chugging as rhythmatically as the day
it left the factory.
But a long road stretched ahead;
so the Chechako, fastened the belt
with its sheath-knife and pistol about
his waist, shouldered the pack, and
started dow'n the track toward Law
ing.
Lawing had already taken on the
quiet of Autumn. At first it seem
“ ed that no one was about , but the
Chechako unfastened the pack frame
and looked about. Then he perceiv
ed what appeared to be garbed in
overalls, two men busily engaged in
wrecking an old building. He ap
proached, and as he drew' nearer he
discovered that one of the two was
a woman, but nevertheless handling
' the peavey with as much skill as any
man. The two strangers greeted the
Chechako cordially. They introduced
themselves as Mr. and Mrs. Lawing
and asked him to be seated. Then
the Chechako sought enlightment.
“Isn’t Lawing the place where the
lodge of Nellie Neal is located?” he
began cautiously.
“Why,” said Mr. Lawing, “Mrs.
Lawing, here, is Nellie Neal.”
In this way the Chechako came to
know' a lady whose reputation is
known throughout the continent. He
heard at first hard tales of early Al
aska, and examined the splendid col
lection of heads and pelts in the tro
phy room. Luncheon wras then ready,
and he sat down to one of the meals
tf
for which Mrs. Lawing is justly fam
ous. After lunch the Lawings show
ed the Chechako about the ranch,
where they raised vegetables which
he had though impossible to grow in
Alaska.
I •
The afternoon was advancing rap
idly, however; so the Chechako re
gretfully left Lawing to turn his steps
again toward Mile 29. It was a long
and weary hike. The pack grew
heavier and heavier., The lower cross
piece of the frame dug into his ba^k
more and more. And jnany times, he
■
inwardly thanked Mr. Broadwell for
- striking out certain forced necpssi
• ,tfes which the Chechako had intended
to include in his pack .
. j* ' \; ’ • 'i'
At sunset the Chechako arrived at
faile 29.. He paused a moment to
meet Chris Schiffer, John Johnson,
and Gust Almquist, and then turned
• V l • ‘t *
off on the Moose Pass road, near
Mile 1, he decided to camp for the
night. He had already made a mis
take he had been warned against re
peatedly: He had waited too late be
fore making camp. A strip of gravel
beside a small creek emptying into
§now river looked satisfactory.^ He
Stopped. Before the evening meal
was cooked, it was top dark to gath
er spruce boughs for a, bed; so he
■-1' • ’ - .
spread his tarp and sleeping bag on
the gravel beside the fire. The stones
were hard, and the ground was a little (
cold, but the first ten miles he had
made in his life with a fifty pound
pack tended to make him forget the
smaller inconveniences of life. He
slept.
And so ended the second day.
