This chapter begins thirty days after the dogs have made the long pull back to Skagway after having successfully delivered the mail to Dawson By now Buck has lost over thirtyfive pounds and he is not alone in his suffering in fact all of the dogs are in a wretched state They are all overworked they have sore paws they are plagued with injuries and in general they are exhausted tired Furthermore there is no power of recuperation left no reserve strength to call upon In this chapter we discover that in the last five months they have traveled twentyfive miles with only five days rest The drivers expect a long recuperation period but because of the droves of people who have arrived in the great North the mail is arriving at a rapid pace necessitating constant mail runs Worthless or tired and weak dogs London tells us are gotten rid of Thus before the team is fully rested two men from the States buy them harness and all for a song meaning that they were bought very cheaply The two men are Hal and Charles Charles the older is middleaged with watery eyes and a fiercely uptwisted light mustache Hal is younger probably nineteen or twenty and he carries a gun and a hunting knife a detail which London includes to emphasize Hals callousness and his potential evil The two men are Congrats - Your Hired Thursday, September 11, 2015 � Samsung, Google, Apple, HP, and Yahoo have extended offers What separates you from the rest is your keen instincts and amazing work ethic We need to hear from you now Within the next few hours we must know what you decide This is perfect for any parent who wants to stay home with their children while making 400 a day Here is where to go » As you review your resume, note any gaps, that could threaten to weaken your application.

to attack him once more and twice he tears Bucks flesh to the bone Franois however is close by and using the whip he beats Spitz away But Buck can no longer forgive Spitz and from this moment on it is allout war between Spitz and Buck Buck constantly challenges Spitzs authority and uses every chance he can to undermine Spitzs authority London writes that it was inevitable that the fight for leadership should come Bucks pride is such that he does not like to be subservient to any dog most of all to Spitz All the way to Dawson there is continual bickering between Buck and Spitz and this conflict is important of course because ideally a dog team must work as a single unit and when a dog mutinies that dog ceases to be effective More important though is Londons focus on the struggle between the civilized dog from the South and the primitive dog from the North Londons point here is that the cunningness that Buck learned in civilization combined with his superior strength and his newly acquired primeval instincts make Buck the superior animal in what will be a coming critical contest between him and Spitz After seven days in Dawson during which time the dogs recuperate they begin the return trip It is imperative however that they cover the distance as rapidly as possible but this is partly facilitated by the fact that they are going to travel light and that the mounted police have deposited supplies along the way plus the fact that the trail that they have already broken will be easier to travel In spite of these added conveniences though the trip is slowed by the dissension between Buck and Spitz and this is due in large part to the fact that Buck has undermined the authority of Spitz and this has caused the other dogs to rebel It is now even more obvious that the inevitable fight between Buck and Spitz will take place and soon This climactic fight occurs when one of the dogs Dub startles a snowshoe rabbit As the rabbit attempts to escape all of the other dogs join in the chase The chase greatly excites Bucks primitive ecstatic instincts the blood lust the joy to he is impioned to with his teeth and savor the fresh warm blood Spitz however while Buck is enjoying the chase becomes cold and calculating he cuts across a narrow neck of land and captures the rabbit Buck is furious and is so frenzied by the wild desire for fresh blood as well as so fiercely enraged over Spitzs actions that he realizes that the time has finally come that the time for the critical battle between him and Spitz has arrived Spitz is the more experienced fighter and is able to ward off most of Bucks charges In fact Buck almost exhausts himself in his repeated vicious attacks as Spitz slashes Bucks shoulder Spitz is for a while seemingly the superior dog But just as Buck reaches the point of exhaustion he uses that quality that made for greatness imagination Previously Buck was fighting by instinct but now he chooses to fight by imagination and intellect He pretends to make one more halfhearted dash at Spitzs throat but instead he quickly reverses himself and crunches down on Spitzs left foreleg breaking it After successive tries repeating the same gesture Buck is able to break Spitzs other foreleg By now Spitz is down and the other dogs begin circling around them waiting for the In Londons words Buck was inexorable Mercy was a thing reserved for gentler climes Thus the bestial instinct has been proven in Bucks superiority to Spitz and after he has defeated Spitz we see that Buck a previously highly civilized dog from the South has now defeated the strong brave uncivilized dog from the North Buck has become without question the dominant primordial beast Chapter Who Has to Mastership Summary The next day Franois and Perrault discover that Spitz is missing and the signs of battle on Bucks body are proof that the inevitable battle between Buck and Spitz has occurred and that Buck is the obvious ner Franois is pleased because he knows that now there will be no more trouble with the dogs working as a team A major decision must be made however Since Spitz has been ed the sled drivers require a new lead dog Solleks is chosen as the new lead dog But Buck will not allow this and he springs upon Solleks in a fury indicating his desire to be the leader of the pack Franois separates the dogs several times but his tries are futile because Buck attacks Solleks again and again Finally Franois gets a club and threatens Buck with it Buck immediately remembers the man in the red sweater and he cowers before the club Yet Buck was in open revolt and he springs upon Solleks at the first opportunity Perrault and Franois chase Buck around the camp site for about an hour but Buck easily eludes them Then realizing that they are losing precious time the drivers finally yield to Bucks wishes and install him as the lead dog Buck more than proves his prowess Immediately he shows himself the superior even of Spitz of whom Franois had never seen the equal Buck continues to excel in leadership and the other dogs fall immediately in line and grant Buck his earned superiority In fact one of the dogs Pike lagging during the day is soundly punished by Buck for his laziness Thus the team begins operating in its old superior form a fact which pleases Franois and Perrault very much At one of the stops the Rink Rapids two native huskies Teek and Koona are added to the team and Buck immediately coerces them into being members of the team In record time the journey from the Rink Rapids to Skagway their destination is accomplished For three days Perrault and Franois brag about their accomplishments and the team is the constant center of a worshipful crowd of dog busters and mushers New orders however come to the kindly drivers Franois and Perrault and like other men they are forced to accept new ignments and so they leave Bucks life Bucks new owner is a Scotch halfbreed and is known only by that name he is the driver of the mail team over the trail to Dawson Once again Buck and his mates set out on the weary and monotonous trail to Dawson We are told that Buck enjoyed lying near the campfire at which time he would dream of his old life in the Santa Clara Valley but and this is an important point he was not homesick The Sunland was very dim and distant and such old memories have no power over him any more At other times he ponders the halfbreed cook who also sits near the campfire In Londons description of the halfbreed cook it is clear that he wants us to see the halfbreed as a type of prehistoric cave man covered with hair a creature perhaps closer to the animals than to the humans We are told that he did not stand erect but that he had a trunk that inclined forward from the hips on legs bent at the knees He is described as a hairy man who slept with his head between his legs Buck and his mates are in poor condition due to the lack of rest and recuperation at Skagway and to make matters worse is the fact that on the way to Dawson it snows every day making the journey even more tedious Once again London reminds us of his central concern about the survival of the fittest He tells us that since Bucks career as a sled dog began he has traveled over miles and that miles will take its toll even on the life of the toughest One day Dave one of the sled dogs becomes irritable and constantly cries out in intense pain The drivers can locate no broken bones or visible wounds but they know that something is wrong probably internally The Scotch halfbreed therefore decides to remove Dave from the team yet Dave even in his pain is resentful London explains that the pride of trace and trail was his and sick unto he could not bear that another dog should do his work So he runs alongside the sled which causes him excruciating pain because he deeply desires to be a member of the team The driver is concerned by Daves actions and his comrades talked of how a dog could break its heart through being denied the work that ed it The driver decides to harness Dave again even though he knows that it will surely him The next morning Dave is too weak to travel but through an incredible act of physical stamina Dave bravely stands in line to be harnessed He constantly trips and falls and he stumbles unable to pull along with his teammates and at last the driver is forced to remove Dave from the team Retracing his steps to the camp the Scotch halfbreed takes Dave back with him and as Buck listens from a distance there is a crack of a revolver ending Daves life on the trail In general this chapter functions as something very much like a transitional chapter In the first three chapters we saw how Buck adjusted to the primitive wilderness and to the primeval North After his ning his mastership in this chapter we see that Buck now performs the tests of his masters with perfect precision making himself a lead dog superior even to all the other dogs Thus Buck proves to be a perfect creature This transitional chapter contrasts with the first three chapters then and the next three chapters will show Buck becoming increasingly alien to all traces of civilization and preparing himself to accept and adapt to the call of the wild Chapter The Toil of Trace and Trail Summary �
