from “The King of Mazy May” 20 points
by Jack London
Lifting clear on the crest of a great jam off Indian River, Walt Masters met with his first
accident. A bullet sang past his ears, and struck the bad lead dog.
The poor brute plunged in a heap, with the rest of the team on top of him.
Like a flash Walt was by the leader. Cutting the traces with his hunting knife, he dragged the
dying animal to one side and straightened out the team.
He glanced back. The other sled was coming up like an express train. With half the dogs still
over their traces, he cried “Mush on!” and leaped upon the sled just as the pursuers dashed
abreast of him.
The Irishman was preparing to spring for him—they were so sure they had him that they did
not shoot—when Walt turned fiercely upon them with his whip. He struck at their faces, and
men must save their faces with their hands. So there was no shooting just then. Before they
could recover from the hot rain of blows, Walt reached out from his sled, catching their
wheel dog by the forelegs in midspring, and throwing him heavily. This snarled the team,
capsizing the sled and tangling his enemies up beautifully.
Away Walt flew, the runners of his sled fairly screaming as they bounded over the frozen
surface. And what had seemed an accident proved to be a blessing in disguise. The proper
lead dog was now to the fore, and he stretched low and whined with joy as he his
comrades along.By the time he reached Ainslie’s Creek, seventeen miles from Dawson, Walt had left his
pursuers, a tiny speck, far behind. At Monte Cristo Island he could no longer see them. And
at Swede Creek, just as daylight was silvering the pines, he ran plump into the camp of old
Loren Hall.
Almost as quick as it takes to tell it, Loren had his sleeping furs rolled up, and had joined
Walt on the sled. They permitted the dogs to travel more slowly, as there was no sign of the
chase in the rear, and just as they pulled up at the gold commissioner’s office in Dawson,
Walt, who had kept his eyes open to the last, fell asleep.
And because of what Walt Masters did on this night, the men of the Yukon have become
proud of him, and speak of him now as the King of Mazy May

in the story "The Nest"

by Violet Sorzano

Randall squinted up through the trees, trying to gauge the time, but gave up quickly. He should have paid attention when his father taught the family to read the position of the sun. He should have paid attention, too, before sneaking off this morning on his first solo hike, forgetting the whistle his mother stressed he always bring.

He pictured his parents now at their camp beneath the tree with the eagle’s nest, wondering where he was. Randall was wondering the same thing. Lost and out of food, he feared he had but a few hours before darkness closed in, trapping him in the bitter cold with the creatures of the night.

He closed his eyes to fight back tears, when he heard it in the distance. Water! His father’s words came flowing into his mind; one tip he actually remembered. “If you’re ever lost, find a river and follow it.”

In a flash, he was on his feet, scaling fallen trees, tearing through brush, frantically following the sound. The sky grew darker, but the noise grew louder, and Randall, tired and scared, forged ahead until he found it. He reached the river bank and was mulling his next move when a sudden splash caught his eye.

A majestic eagle rose from the water, soaring skyward with a freshly caught fish in its talons. Could it be the same eagle nested above his camp? It glided triumphantly into a high nest a short distance away, eager to greet its family. Randall smiled, equally triumphant, eager to do the same as he followed the eagle’s flight.

In the distance, he saw his mother, his whistle clutched in her hand.
