By keeping the skin well over the face of the wounded man, he succeeded in guarding him from them effectually. But his mind misgave him when he tried to look through the whirling confusion around, and thought of the long tramp that Anteek would have ere he could commence his return journey with the sledge.
"Oh yes;" the Indian was quite ready to go, whereupon the men scattered to harness the dogs and make preparation for an immediate hunt. "Go and get my sledge ready," said Cheenbuk to Anteek. The boy was only too glad to obey, for the mission implied that he should have a place on the sledge along with the Fire-spouter. In a very short time several sledges were ready.
The hearts of Nootka and her mother beat with no ordinary flutter as they heard the familiar shout, and as for Anteek, he went into a paroxysm of delight, which he sought to relieve by bounding and yelling till the canoe touched the shore. Then, by a powerful effort, he subdued himself, and turned his energies into a prolonged look of unutterable amazement at Adolay.
But always when things looked most hopeless the indefatigable Cheenbuk found a passage often very narrow and crooked, it is true, through which they managed to advance, and when the way was blocked altogether, as it was more than once, Cheenbuk and the Indian cleared a passage with their axes, while Anteek led the dogs over the obstruction, and Oolalik guided the sledge over it.
Peyton's account, will we, Susy? And now she and me will just take a look around the shanty, it is real old Spanish anteek, ain't it? and sorter take stock of it, and you young folks will have to tear yourselves apart for a while, and play propriety before me. You've got to be on your good behavior while I'm here, I can tell you! I'm a heavy old 'doo-anna. Ain't I, Susy?
Cheenbuk looked at Gartok, and then both looked at the bear. Apparently the ridge prevented the distant sound from reaching it, for it did not move. "We must go at it alone without dogs," said Gartok, grasping his spear, while a flash of the old fire gleamed in his eyes. "You must not try," said Cheenbuk; "the drive here has already tired you out. Anteek will do it with me.
Well, the snow where they live is very deep and soft not at all like the snow here, except when our snow is new-fallen so that they cannot travel in the cold time without great things on their feet. That," pointing downward "must be the track of those great things, and there must be a Fire-spouter not far off." "Perhaps a number of Fire-spouters a war-party," suggested Anteek, becoming excited.
Having admired the wooden leg on Anteek's head, and having observed where Anteek had stowed the leg away before setting off with the hunters, he possessed himself of it, put it on his head, and strutted about the camp to the admiration and envy of all his compeers; for he was a very daring and domineering boy, although small. His name was Doocheek.
Without a word Cheenbuk grasped his harpoon and coil and ran forward, for the walrus had dived at that moment. Anteek followed, and Nazinred kept close to both. Once they lay down to let the animal come up and dive again. The moment it did so they ran at full speed as before to the edge of the hole and waited. "Send it deep in," muttered the Indian. "I will," replied the Eskimo.
When you have arrived, and told your story, get a fresh team of dogs, and two men, and come back here with a little meat and some more bearskins and do it all, boy, as fast as you can." "I will," answered Anteek in a tone and with a look of decision that were quite satisfactory.
