`` Uncle Dick has asked me to set down everything I see at Dawson , which is the big gold-camp that caused the Klondike stampede in 1897 ; so I think I will do that the best I can . '' Rob 's diary went on as he had promised , for during the time that they lay between boats at the once famous gold-camp there was abundant opportunity for them to get about and see pretty much everything there was worth seeing . Rob 's record runs day by day as previously : '' _ Thursday , August 14th . _ -- Dawson at 4 A.M. . Our boat does not go any farther . We reserved passage on the _ Norcom _ for White Pass . She will sail the evening of next Saturday .
