Before them a snaky space of water, blacker than the darkness about them, and capped with faintly phosphorescent crests of tossing waves, separated them Ootah knew not how far from the land. "To the right!" Ootah called. "Let us go onward!" "Huk! Huk!" Maisanguaq encouraged the dogs. "The floe may land near the glacier," Ootah cried. He spoke to Annadoah.
"Huk!" replied the warriors, with eager looks. Leo thought of correcting his manner of taking aim, but, reflecting that the result would be a miss in any case, he refrained. Grabantak raised the rifle slowly, as its owner had done, and frowned along the barrel. In doing so, he drew it back until the butt almost touched his face. Then he fired.
"They were about two miles away, in line of that hummock, when the squall set in. I'll try a call, and see if we can get an answer." "Huk! huk!" There was a long silence, unbroken save by the whistle of the blasts and the metallic rattle of the sleety snow: "Ah-huk! ah-huk! ah " "There they are to windward.
I therefore request that your Excellency will give the strictest injunctions to all your dependants not to interfere in any manner with any matter relative to the affairs of the Adawlut and Foujdarry, and that you will yourself relinquish all interference therein, and leave them entirely to the management of Sudder ul Huk Khân.
A couple of these worthies, arriving at a small village, affect their wildest and most grotesque appearance and proceed to walk with stately, majestic tread through the streets, gracefully brandishing their clubs or battle- axes, gazing fixedly at vacancy and reciting aloud from the Koran with a peculiar and impressive intonation; they then walk about the village holding out their alms-receiver and shouting "huk yah huk! huk yah huk " Half afraid of incurring their displeasure, few of the villagers refuse to contribute a copper or portable cooked provisions.
They are encountered in such numbers, that no matter which way I turn, I am confronted by a rag-bedecked mendicant, with a wild, haggard countenance and grotesque costume, thrusting out his gourd alms-receiver, and muttering "huk yah huk!" each in his own peculiar way.
"But tell me," cried Issek, the stern mother of Arbalik, "what does the Kablunet say the people eat in his own land?" "They eat no whales," said Nuna; "they have no whales." "No whales!" exclaimed Pussimek, with a `huk' of surprise! "No; no whales," said Nuna "and no bears," she added impressively. "Eat grass!" exclaimed the mother of Arbalik. "So he says, and also beasts that have horns "
It was wholly improbable that anything like Huk patrol ships would be out so far. It was even more improbable that any kind of detection devices would be in operation. Any approaching ship could travel several times as fast as any signal. Patrolman Willis searched painstakingly. He found a planet which was a mere frozen lump of matter in vastness.
He suddenly sent it with a wild "Huk! hoo-o-o!" whirling into the air. The Kablunet was instantly forgotten. The ball came straight down towards a clumsy young man, who extended his hands, claw-like, to receive it.
"Huk!" exclaimed old Kannoa, who confined her observations chiefly to that monosyllable and a quiet chuckle. "No," returned Nuna, becoming a little impatient under these frequent interruptions; "they are not dogs at all, but hurses hosses with hard feet like stones, and iron boots on them."
