I have had "Dangerous River" by R.M. PAtterson for some time now. I finally sat down yesterday and read it. Excellent book. It addresses the 1905 murders of the McLeod brothers on the South Nahanni River in the Northwest Territory (Canada).

The murder was blamed on the Nahanni Indians but no one knows.

Seven years earlier a group of Klondikers disappeared also. The only thing that was found was their log cabins they built North of the Nahanni.

On page 158-159 Patterson makes a quick paragraph concerning an incident which reads: "That evening there came to us from somehwere downriver a curious wailing sound, ;ile the cry of a man in danger- probably the call of a lynx."

By this time Patterson was an experienced woodsman in the Yukon and Northwest Territory. I just find it interesting (although it doesn't really mean anything) that he now his trapping partners, Gordon Matthews could pin down the source of the "wailing sound".
