Chapter 5, Rev. George Carring and Col. C. E. Begg. Reverend George Carring and Colonel Clement E. Begg meet by chance on a ferry while crossing beautiful Lake Champlain. They are each just reading about fabulous gold discoveries in the Klondike, which is in an unheard of corner of the Yukon Territory in Canada's north -- and this coincidence creates an audacious plan to make them both very rich.
