In desperation Thorpe tries to steal the meat from Buck and is caught. He is punished by being sent into the wilderness to starve. Hester deprives Buck of his revenge by following her husband. Next morning they are found by a half-breed with a sledgeload of meat. Thorpe induces him to let him sell the meat in Red Gold. He refuses to sell to Buck.
