Seriously? Well, OK. The "debt unpaid" is the narrator's to Sam McGee that he will cremate McGee's body. Though they're in a howling winter wilderness, the trail's "stern code," the ethical obligations created by those sharing such travail, demands that the narrator fulfill his promise -- if only for his own sense of integrity. In the days that he's hauling McGee's corpse, it's too cold for him to speak -- hence, his lips are "dumb" -- but in his heart he's cursing "that load," McGee's corpse, and at night he detests it -- I suspect the cursing and loathing happened together, day and night. Can't say I blame him, though, of course, it turns out well for McGee. Wonder what the two of them did after McGee thawed . .. .
