They decide to take a chance in striking it rich or failing in the attempt. They hasten home and make known their determination to their old mother and father, who naturally are grieved, but finally convince the old folk that they will be successful in their efforts. The boys bid father and mother farewell. In the Klondike they strike the Chilcoot Pass and are tramping over the trails, leading to the gold fields. They meet with ups and downs of success and failure; they become homesick, and make up their minds to return home. They turn toward the border, and with their dog trains prepare to start homeward. Supplied with what is left of the necessaries of life they struggle through the deep snows and over tundra in the midst of the blinding storms. Their dogs desert them or perish in the merciless cold and snow, and they are brought to the last extreme. There is but one vestige left of their supplies, a small piece of pork. They are starving to death. Each one insists upon the other taking what remains of their food. They all refuse, each protesting that the other should eat the piece of pork. Soon they are succumbing to that drowsiness and sickness which are the forerunners of freezing to death. The snow soon covers them and they lie unconscious under its little white shroud. A band of prospectors with well-laden dog trains happen along their way, and the brothers are placed upon the sleds and brought to a nearby camp, where they are resided to consciousness and sent on their homeward way rejoicing. The old mother, who has lost her husband and is now all alone, despairing of ever seeing her sons, is filled with delight at the return of her three stalwart sons to cheer and bless her old age.
