Their howls shrilled through the storm, "Huk! Huk! Huk!" he urged. Supporting Annadoah with one arm Ootah pushed forward after the moving team. He knew they were being carried steadily and slowly seaward, but he had hopes that the ice field would swerve landward toward the south where an armlike glacier jutted, elbow-fashion, into the sea and caught the current.
"About! about nothing." "Huk! about Nort Pole nothing," murmured Chingatok his thoughts diverted by the word. "No, it is worse than Nort Pole, worse than nothing," returned the chief sternly; "it is a small island very small so small that a seal would not have it for a breathing-place. Nothing on it; no moss, no grass. Birds won't stay there only fly over it and wink with contempt.
"Hŭ-ŭk! hŭ-ŭk!" called La Salle, slowly and more softly. "Huk! hū-uk!" answered the huge leader, not a score of yards away, and scarce ten feet from the ice. "Let them come until you see their eyes. Keep cool! aim at the leader! Ready! fire!"
"These Huks," observed Sergeant Madden as the squad ship descended to the Huk planet's surface, "they must've had a share in the scrapping eighty years ago. They've got everything the old-time Huks had. They've even got recordings of human talk from civilian human prisoners of years gone by. And they kept somebody able to talk it for when they fought with us!" Patrolman Willis did not answer.
Fair roads prevail for some distance after leaving Torbet-i-Sheikh Jahm; a halt is made at an Eliaute camp to refresh myself with a bowl of doke. A picturesque dervish emerges from one of the tents and presents his alms-receiver, with "huk yah huk." Both man and voice seem familiar, and after a moment I recognize him as a familiar figure upon the streets of Teheran last winter.
When he comes to the great open sea what will he do without canoes?" "Huk!" exclaimed Oolichuk, with that look and tone which intimated his belief that the pale chief had received a "clincher." The chattering of the other Eskimos ceased for a moment or two as they awaited eagerly the Captain's answer, but the Captain disappointed them. He merely said, "Well, we shall see.
To advance without light over rugged ice, in which were cracks and fissures and hummocks innumerable, being out of the question, Rooney called a halt. "Rest and food, friends," he said, "are essential to life." "Huk!" was the brief reply.
"They weren't gentlemen, they were our peasants! Andrey Guryev was one; Aloshka Huk was one." "Well, I am cold talking to you. . . ." The doctor waved his hand and walked quickly to his own door. Kirila was on the point of following him, but, seeing the door slam, he stopped.
He had a proximity detector out, which would pick up any radiation caused by the cutting of magnetic lines of force by any object. It made very tiny whining noises from time to time. If anything from a Huk missile rocket to the salvage ship Aldeb approached, however, the sound would be distinctive. "Now that," said Sergeant Madden, "is the same thing that makes delinks.
The very name Urkuh seems composed of two Maya words HUK, to make everything, and LUK, mud; he who makes everything of mud; so significative of his building propensities and of the materials used by him.
