But, no matter how fast he ran, we went still faster; and it could not have been an hour before we overtook him. Then Eatum leaned forward and untied his dogs, letting them run ahead while the sledge stopped. In a few minutes the dogs had brought the bear to bay, surrounding the huge wild beast, and flying at his sides, and tormenting him in a very fierce manner.
There were two young Eatums; and when I began to play with them, I grew in great favor with the Eatum family. "The Dean was quite as well off for patrons as I, being specially taken care of by a woman whose husband had been one of our party. Her name I forget now, but it meant 'big toes. So what with nursing by 'Mrs. Little-nose' and 'Mrs.
All this time I must not neglect to mention, however, that Eatum was of the greatest service to us; for when the weather was good he would fasten his dogs to the sledge, and all three of us would go out together on the sea to hunt, Eatum driving.
I will give you a specimen of this kind of song, translated, of course, as I have long ago forgotten how to speak their language. "Eatum is telling the story of a bear-hunt, and as you will see that it is a kind of song, I will sing it for you, and you can join in the chorus just as well as if you were all little savages yourselves. We will call it
To fasten together pieces of bone in the manner that Eatum had done, and thus construct a runner, was not possible, as we had no drill to make holes with, and besides, if we had, the work would have required too long a time for our present necessities.

Mebbyso yo' heap bad medicine. Yo' go."
"We now made up our minds that Eatum was nothing more than a treacherous savage; and we were afraid that he would come back with more savages and murder us, in order that he might get the furs and other things that we had; so for a while we were much alarmed, and were more heartbroken I believe, than ever before, for our hopes of rescue had been raised very high by hearing of Eatum's people and the ships.
One of them was Eatum, and they all proved to be just as singular-looking people, and were as curious about us and about everything we had as Eatum had been. Their faces were on a broad grin all the while.
One of them we called at once 'Old Grim, because he yeh-yeh-ed with his insides; but no laugh ever showed itself in his face. "After their curiosity was satisfied, they imitated Eatum, and began to call loudly, drinkum and then eatum, yeh-yeh-ing as before in a very lively manner; so that, what with their yeh-yeh-ing and eatum and drinkum, there was quite a merry time of it.
