"And turns its side to us," said Akeetolik. "And wags its tail no more," cried Oolichuk. "Oh! do, do let us run away," gasped Oblooria. "No, no, we will not run," said Tekkona. At that moment a white cloud burst from the side of the yacht. "Hi! hee! huk!" shouted the whole tribe in amazement.
To them being a cop was still a matter of glamour rather than routine. They probably even regretted the absence of Huks. But when a man reached Sergeant Madden's age, glamour didn't matter. He had to remember that his job was worth doing, in itself. "Yeah," said Sergeant Madden. "There was quite a time with those Huks." "Did you ... did you ever see a Huk, sir?" asked Willis.
I dare say the wife of Okiok would like to hear what that message is." "Huk! That is true," said Nuna quickly. "And," continued Issek, "Ippegoo speaks of the suspicions of Angut. What does he suspect? We would all like to know that." "Huk! huk! That is also true," exclaimed every one. "My son," whispered Kunelik, "silence is the only hope of a fool. Speak not at all."
Finally he fell to the floor in a writhing paroxysm. "Pst!" Maisanguaq's eyes lighted. Outside he heard the sharp barking of dogs. "Huk! Huk!" Ootah's voice called. Others joined in the clamor. The entire tribe seemed to wake as from a sleep of the dead. "He starts for the mountains," said Maisanguaq. "Thinkest thou the spirits will strike?" Sipsu opened his eyes and glared wildly at Maisanguaq.
"Huk!" exclaimed Angut, by which exclamation you may be sure that he meant to express much satisfaction. "But," continued the wizard, "the Kablunet is ill. He is thin; he is weak. He wants rest. I have consulted with my torngak, who tells me he will get better soon if we do not trouble him."
Rooney laughed at this, and said, Yes; they were much bigger as big as the cliffs alongside. "Huk!" exclaimed the Eskimos in various tones.
"Have we disturbed the spirits of the hills?" asked Koolotah, in a whisper. "No, no," answered Ootah, anxiously. "Huk! Huk!" He snapped his whip and urged the dogs. They had not gone twenty paces when from the interior heights of Greenland came a series of muffled explosions. Undoubtedly the hill spirits had wakened, and, angry, were hurling their terrible weapons.
He understood enough of what was said, however, to see the drift of his visitor's meaning. "Huk!" he exclaimed, with a look of satisfaction; "Angut will be glad to hear this." "Who is Angut?" asked the sailor. The whole party looked peculiarly solemn at this question. "Angut is a great angekok," answered Okiok, in a low voice.
At this point he glared, and became dumb. Not knowing well what to say next, he judiciously remained silent, then sat down and gasped, while the united company exclaimed "Huk!" with unusual emphasis. The consultation which Ujarak had with his torngak was somewhat peculiar. It consisted chiefly in a wild run at full speed out upon the floes.
The Huks were extremely co-operative. They even supplied materials for the repair job on the Cerberus, including landing rockets to be used in case of need. But they weren't needed for take-off. The Cerberus had been landed at a Huk spaceport, which obligingly lifted it out to space again when its drive had been replaced.
