CHAPTER EIGHT

Bluff, Norton Sound, and Golovin

In Bluff, Balto felt the change in the weather long before any humans. He knew a storm when he smelled one. He paced back and forth, his nose to the wind.

Kaasen thought Balto’s actions came from tension and impatience, which were what Kaasen himself was feeling. He had not slept in two days. The wait was terrible.

Finally news came.

Henry Ivanoff reported a successful transfer to Seppala on the ice of Norton Sound. Ivanoff said that Seppala had taken off immediately and was making good time toward the town of Golovin. There, Charlie Olson and his team were waiting. High winds and blowing snow had been reported, but Olson’s run to Bluff would be only thirty miles.

At last, action was close at hand!

Kaasen rechecked the sled and readied the harnesses. Balto understood his musher’s actions. He leaped to his feet and stretched his muscles. They would be leaving soon!
