The latter were hard as boards, but by rubbing the skin upon the rounded end of a stick Toby soon had them soft and pliable. Charley took off his leather shoes, donned the woolen slippers, and over these pulled the sealskin boots which met his knickers, and with a buckskin draw string tied the boot tops just below the knees. Then, removing his ulster, he drew the hooded adikey over his head.
"Thank you," and Marks took a seat. "Nippy out. Hot tea is warming. Trout good too. Regular feast!" "The lads and Vi'let just catches the trout this morning." When he was through eating, Marks donned his adikey, and went out of doors to release his dogs from harness.
A man clad in a white adikey and white moleskin trousers emerged from one of the buildings, paused for a moment to gaze at Bob and his companions as they approached, and then reentered the building.
The wound in Marks's shoulder proved little more than a scratch. Mrs. Twig bathed it with Dr. Healum's Liniment, and Marks assured her it would be all right. Then while Marks smoked, and the boys sat and talked with him, she repaired his torn adikey. "I'm buying fur," Marks presently suggested. "Aaron Slade told me you have some."
Then he wound up with the startling announcement that he believed he knew the cause of Torngak's anger: that on the very day of their arrival he had seen Chealuk one of the old women sewing a netsek sealskin adikey with the sinew of the tukto reindeer. Every one turned to Chealuk for confirmation and she said simply, "It is true." The Eskimos were struck dumb with horror.
It might be of interest to explain that if this garment is made of cloth it is an adikey; if of deerskin, a koolutuk, and if made of sealskin, a netsek all cut alike. If they wear two cloth garments at the same time, as is usually the case, the inner one only is an adikey, the outer one a silapak. Their language is the same from Greenland to Alaska.
This unexpected attack from the rear caused the animal to retreat, but not until it had torn a rent in the man's adikey, and drawn blood from his shoulder, barely missing the neck and throat, which had been its aim.
