Whatever he was at other times, there is no doubt that the interpreter was full of genuine sentiment the moment he got the violin under his chin. Now at that moment three young Dogrib braves chanced to be passing under the window, which was about seven feet from the ground.
When he had passed the last of these bergs, however, he began to hesitate in his movements, and Attim, trotting quietly by his side, looked inquiringly up into his face once or twice with the obvious question, "What's the matter?" in his soft brown eyes or some Dogrib idiom equivalent thereto. "I'm afraid to go on," murmured the Indian gravely.
Don't you remember that one, mother, that we met when we went last spring with some of our men to shoot at the Greygoose River? He was a fine man big and strong, and active and kind almost good enough to be a Dogrib." "I remember him well," returned Isquay, "for he saved my life. Have you forgotten that already?" "No, I have not forgotten it," answered the girl, with a slight smile.
Keep up heart, Adolay!" he added, turning to the weeping girl; "no evil can have come to our people, for they have left of their own will for a new camp; but I am perplexed, for this is the best place in all the Dogrib lands for a village, and we had lived long here in contentment." "But if that be so, there must be good reason for their having left," suggested Cheenbuk.
Then she paid a visit to Rinka, whose injuries, however, proved to be more alarming than severe; after which she joined the rest of the tribe at supper. While the Eskimos were thus proceeding to their home among the islands of the Arctic sea, the captors of Cheenbuk were paddling up-stream to the lands of the Dogrib Indians. At first the stout Eskimo meditated an attempt to escape.
"When the sun of spring rises over the ice-hills of the great salt lake," he continued, pointing towards the Pole, "when it melts the snow, opens the lakes and rivers, and brings the summer birds to our land, the braves of the great Dogrib nation take their guns, and bows, and canoes, and women, and travel nearly as far as the icy sea, that they may hunt and feed and sleep, and and enjoy the land.
