"Off to mend my kayah, mother." "Nonsense! Only women can mend kayahs. I will fix it. You go off and take a walk, and then come to dinner. We are going to have a young seal." A seal! Wasn't that nice? Who wouldn't be a young Greenlander, own a kayah, and have seal for dinner? The prospect before Sammy made him feel better. The world, too, looked different.
One naturally would think his craft would be top-heavy and over he would go, as the kayah has no keel and carries no ballast, and if we should try a kayah, it would certainly be on land. But those Greenlanders learn to handle themselves so well that their kayahs will go dancing over the big billows and then fly through a ragged, dangerous surf.
From their kayahs, too, they will fight the fierce white bear. Ah! Sammy, what is the matter? "Ugh-h-h-h!" Sammy gives a melancholy groan. He begins to suspect that his boat is leaking. Could any one have slit the seal-skin bottom? The kayah is really settling. Sammy feels troubled. "I must go home," he says.
