Unaware Of The Change In The Relay
With piercing doggedness, Shannon reached Tolovana at 11:00 am the next day. At this time, the outbreak in Nome had become worse. As a result, Alaska’s Territorial Governor Scott Bones had made changes to the initial plan. Several riders had been added to the relay, and instead of the original rendezvous at Nulato, the riders were to take the package further to Shaktoolik and wait for Seppala there.
Unfortunately, the legendary musher had not been informed of this change in plans. He was sweeping through villages that had not yet adapted to the advanced technologies of the telephone and telegraph, so there was no way to reach him.
