Just then Sate began to nose among some little brownish-gray dogs, and so, Tommy called, "Here come here come along," and out walked not only Sate, but six other dogs, and stood in a line just as though they were hitched to a sled, the six finest Eskimo dogs Tommy had ever seen. "Aren't they beauties!" said Santa Claus. "I never saw a finer lot; big-boned, broad-backed, husky fellows.
Okak, two days' travel south of Hebron, with a population of three hundred and twenty-nine, is the largest Eskimo village in Labrador and an important station of the Moravian missionaries. Besides the chapel, living apartments and store of the mission a neat, well- organized little hospital has just been opened by them and placed in charge of Dr. S. Hutton, an English physician.
By that time the Eskimo was thoroughly sober, but the same could not be said of all his people of whom there were upwards of a hundred men, besides women and children. It was found that a chance trader to Godhaab had brought a considerable quantity of rum, and the families of which we now speak had secured several kegs.
The fall caused the knife to spin into the air, and the poor Eskimo found himself at the mercy of the Kablunet. Instead of taking the man's life, Rooney bade him sit up. The man did so with a solemn look, not unmixed with perplexity. There is a phase of that terrible vice drunkenness which is comic, and it is not of the slightest use to ignore that fact.
In wild consternation Marian tugged at the skin-rope. In another moment she had the deer under control and turned to witness a battle royal. The Eskimo had been thrown from the deer's back, but, agile as a cat, he had landed upon his feet and had turned to face the enemy. He was not a moment too soon, for with a snarl of fury the wolf was upon him. For a fraction of a second the lance gleamed.
Lest the civilised reader should be puzzled, we may here remark that the costume of the husband and wife whom we have introduced as, indeed, of most if not all Eskimo men and women is very similar in detail as well as material.
Many illustrations are brought together in Gesell's study of "Jealousy." Jealousy among lower races may be disguised or modified by tribal customs. She would have nothing to do with anyone but him and that was her only failing!" Rasmussen elsewhere shows that the Eskimo are capable of extreme jealousy. See, e.g., Moll, Sexualleben des Kindes, p. 158; cf., Gesell's "Study of Jealousy."
"I would have asked Him to clear the sea of ice," replied the Eskimo promptly, "and send us kayaks and oomiaks to take us on shore." "And if He had answered you according to your prayer, you would have said, no doubt, `That is well." "Yes," answered Simek emphatically, and with a smile.
Had Nootka been a civilised girl she might have been suspected of conveying a suggestion to the youth, for she was very fond of him, but, being an Eskimo of the Far North, she knew nothing about ribs or of Mother Eve.
Here and there, as the years passed, one would find among the Eskimo trace-dogs, a grizzled-haired, powerful-jawed giant that was alien to the arctic stock, and in these occasional aliens ran the blood of Tao, the Dane.
