Further Explanation:

In the sixth chapter "For the Love of a man," John Thornton and Buck met Black Burton. They encountered him in Circle City in a bar. Burton has been described as an evil man. He went into a fight with a newcomer. To this Thornton moved forward to control the situation. Burton punched Thornton as he was intervening in his actions. Reacting to this, Burton punched Thornton. To this, Buck came forward and scratched Burton's throat.  

Jack London's "The Call of the Wind" is an example of a classic adventure novel. The novel incorporates the story of a dog named Buck. The story of Buck revolves around his journey from being a pampered and easy-going domestic dog from struggling as a sled one. Initially, Buck is seen as a pampered dog. His life changes when he got stolen from his house in California and was transported to Canadian Klondike to serve his duty of a sled dog. In this journey, he was passed from one master to another. During this phase, he learned many things and the ways to survive to live in the North. It is at the end of the story that he falls in the hands of a man named John Thornton who helped him to survive from starvation. Buck loved his master because he was the only one who treated Buck like his child and not as a responsibility.

"Black Burton" is what now we say a modern day bully. Burton was already busy "picking a quarrel" with a "tenderfoot" in the saloon, and Thornton decided to come to the aid of the newcomer. Burton then took out his frustration on Thornton, hitting him without notice and nearly knocking Thornton to the floor.
