Unfortunately, the goldseekers* in the north needed a dog like him.Manuel, the gardener’s helper, decided to sellBuck to make a few dollars. So, one evening, hetook Buck for a walk when nobody was looking.Buck knew Manuel well and was happy to go withhim. They went to the train station, where anotherman was waiting to give Manuel the money forBuck. The stranger put a rope* round Buck’s neckand pulled it tight. Then the man put Buck on atrain. The dog was very angry and bit the man’shand, but it was no use, he couldn’t escape.They reached San Francisco where the mangave Buck to another stranger. By now, Buck wasvery thirsty and hungry.

He couldn’t understandwhat was happening. “Why are they doing this tome?” he thought.During the night, the man came to see Buck.Buck thought it was the judge, but barked* angrilywhen he realized it was the stranger. “Where ismy master?” he thought sadly.Next morning, four men came for the dog.They looked dangerous and Buck barked at themfrom inside the crate. They just laughed at himand put the crate on another train.Buck now began a long journey which tookhim far from the peace and quiet of his home andthe people who loved him. From the train, theymoved him to a truck, then a boat, then finallya train once more. All this time, nobody gaveBuck even a drink of water and he was weak andfrightened.Two days and nights passed, and Buck lay inthe crate barking when anyone came near him.He was really thirsty now, and he was furious*with these men who were taking him away fromeverything he knew and loved. His eyes were red,he was dirty and angry, and he didn’t look likea crate a wooden box (see picture on p. 15)to bark to make the loud sound a dog makesfurious very, very angry13

Heno longer had the rope around his neck, but histhroat hurt.At last they reached Seattle, and the four mencarried the crate into a small back yard* with highwalls. Then, a man with a red sweater came intothe back yard. He was carrying a hatchet* in onehand and a club* in the other. Buck knew he wasin danger.

The man hit Buck hard with the club andthe dog fell to the ground. Buck tried again, but itwas no use. Each time, the man in the red sweaterhit him with the club.

The man was Perrault andhe delivered letters and parcels for the Canadiangovernment. He needed a strong dog to pull themail sled* and Buck was perfect for the job. Theman also bought another dog called Curly. Hetook the two dogs to the ship, where his friendFrançois was waiting. There were another twodogs there, and they left for the cold North.

CLILNaturalHistoryFocus on.The Klondike Gold RushThe Klondike RegionThe Klondike is a region in northwest Canada and is part of the Yukon Territory. This regionhas a subarctic climate, so it’s extremely cold in winter. It usually snows from Septemberto May and the rivers are covered in ice from October till spring.Dawson city is on the Klondike River. It became famous worldwide for the Klondike GoldRush in 1896. At this time, the population of Dawson grew to forty thousand. Then, afterthe Gold Rush ended in 1899, it went back to being a small town of 8,000 people.The Gold RushTrailsDuring the Gold Rush, between 1897 and1899, more than 100,000 people went tothe Klondike region to look for gold.Gold was discovered there for the firsttime in August 1896, along the KlondikeRiver. When gold started to arrive in theports in Northwest America, people fromSeattle and San Francisco heard aboutit, and rushed to the region in the hopeof becoming rich. Newspapers startedwriting about the discovery of largequantities of gold, so lots of people lefttheir jobs to go and dig for gold. It wasa long hard journey to the Klondike, andthey had to cross mountain passes withheavy loads. The lucky ones discoveredmines full of gold, but the majority arrivedtoo late. The gold rush in this region lasteduntil 1899. Then, gold was discovered inNome, Alaska, so everybody moved there.Most people arrived in South-east Alaskaat the ports of Dyea or Skagway (originallySkaguay). They then had to take theChilkoot or White Pass trails to the YukonRiver. At this point, they had to makethemselves a boat and sail downriver tothe Klondike. The Canadian governmentmade the gold diggers bring a year’s supplyof food with them. This meant they had aheavy load to carry, so it was very difficultand not everybody reached the mines.Historic miner’s cabin.76
Miners outside a gold mine.The Chilkoot TrailThe White PassThis was the most direct overland route to get tothe main area of the goldfields around DawsonCity and the Yukon River. It was also one of thecheapest ways to get there, so it became verypopular. Those who chose the Chilkoot Trailstarted their journey from Dyea. This route wasshorter than the others, but it was also moredifficult because it was very steep.This other main route left from Skagwayharbor. It was longer than the Chilkoot Trail,but it wasn’t as hard. This mountain pass,which still exists today, goes through themountains which border Alaska and Canada.It starts from Skagway, Alaska, and leads tothe lakes at the headwaters of the YukonRiver.TaskInternet research.In 1848 another Gold Rush started in California.
