They came to rivers frozen glare-smooth and the drivers had to notch the ice with picks to give the animals a footing. Fawning seasons forced long halts. In summer black, torturing clouds of flies and mosquitoes swept across the tundra. In winter men and beasts wandered off in blizzards to be gone for days or weeks. For months at a time the whole troupe was lost...
