Buck and his mates had arrived at Skaguay. they rested for three days. On the fourth day two men came and bought them. They were from the states. The older of the buyers was charles a middle-aged man. He was weak and unimpressive. The other, Hal was an inexperienced young man with bullets on his belts.

In the unkempt camp Buck and his mates saw the tent half stretched, dishes unwashed and everything in disordered state. Buck also saw Charles' wife, Mercedes and Hal's sister. Buck watched them dismantling the camp and loading the sled. He found much effort wasted. They took more time them they should have. Buck found them far from neat and business like. Buck was apprehensive and nervous. They rolled the tent into an awakward bundle. The tin dishes were packed unwashed. Mercedes often came in their way and kept talking and complaining. When the cloth sack was put in front of the sled, Mercedes wanted it to be placed at the back. When it was placed on the back other bundles were placed on it. She discovered overlooked articles which would go the sledge. They had his companion dogs were too weak and tired to pull been on half ration for a long time. Besides thou in that sack.
