Cheenbuk was too much lost in admiration of the gifts which to him were so splendid that he failed to find words to express his gratitude, but, seizing a piece of firewood and resting it on another piece, he set to work with the hatchet, and sent the chips flying in all directions for some time, to the amusement, and no small surprise, of his companion.
Can you make one?" "I can try and I've got to. When needs must, you know." Adrian hastily collected some dry twigs and decaying chips and heaped them in the sunniest place, but for this was promptly reprimanded by the shivering Pierre. "Don't you know anything at all?
