The native was obstinate. "Cow-cow peeluk, gold peeluk," indifferently, from the medicine man, going back to his pipe in the corner as if not caring for further conversation. "He means no grub, no gold or we must give him the supplies first, else we don't get the creek," again interpreted Gibbs. "To the dogs with the fellow!" cried one. "He wants the whole cheese."
The well-known spring visitor to the woods of England, the cuckoo, is undoubtedly destitute of family affection, as are others of its relatives; but this is not the case with the whole tribe. As the spring advances, from the sylvan glades of Pennsylvania a curious note, constantly repeated, is heard, resembling the word "cow-cow."
It was really no matter if the gold creeks were omitted altogether; he should by good rights have the cow-cow and calico. There were reindeer skins which had been secured the year before by Gibbs, but which he had forgotten to pay for; and lastly, there were damages which should be settled, for had not the young miner stolen his wife's affections and well nigh broken his heart?
"How many sleeps?" inquired Gibbs, meaning to ask how many days' journey it was. Kuiktuk held up the fingers of one hand. "He says its a five days' 'mush' from here," interpreted Gibbs. "Will you go with us to the place?" from Dunbar. "Me want cow-cow ameluktuk," mumbled the medicine man slowly.
"Yes, yes, you shall have the cow-cow," impatiently cried Dunbar, "but not until you show us the place." "Me want cow-cow ameluktuk," again muttered the man, still slowly but more firmly. "Oh, he wants the grub before we leave," said Gibbs. "The devil he does!" cried another, who then tried to explain to Kuiktuk that he must produce the gold-bearing creek before he was given the food in payment.
