Answers
summary;
In the 1908 version, there’s an unnamed protagonist who decides one day to venture around and hike through the sub-zero Tundra areas of Yukon territory to meet up with his friends and is accompanied by a dog. Though an older man, or as the author has described, an old-timer of the Sulphur Creek had warned him that the area was too dangerous and not to venture in those areas alone, he ignores his advice thinking he can survive and the conditions may not be as harsh as the old man had said.
But when his spit turns into ice in mid-air, he feels it actually is cold but remains calm and confident nevertheless. He smartly avoids all the ice traps and thin ice layers, but during the journey a layer of ice breaks under his feet and one of his legs gets soaked in the ice-cold water till his knee. He realizes that he won’t be able to walk much due to the numbness from the soaking wet cloth so he decides to light a fire.
