Day had broken cold and gray, exceedingly cold and gray, when the man turned aside from the main Yukon* trail and climbed the high earth-bank, where a dim and little-traveled trail led eastard through the fat spruce timberland. It was a steep bank, and he paused for breath at the top, excusing the act ti himself by looking at his watch. It was nine o'clock. There was no sun nor hint of sun, though there was not a cloud in the sky. It was a clear day, and yet there seemed an intangible pall** over the face of things, a subtle gloom that made the day dark, and that was due to the absence of sun, and he knew a few more days must pass before that cheerful orb, due south, would just peep above the skyline and dip immediately from view.
*Yukon: referring to a cold northwestern area of Canada near Alaska
**pall: dark covering
