She yearned for something real, for life itself not this playing at living, not this skimming life of its cream. Of real life there was none. The best of her memories was her love for the little cadet Koko. That had been a good, honest, straight-forward impulse, and now there was nothing like it. There could not be.
The mother seal leaves the baby in the snow house, and she herself dives through the hole and swims away. Every few minutes she comes back to breathe, and to see that her baby is safe. It was the tiny hole in the top of the seal's snow house that Menie and Koko hoped to find. The days had grown quite long by this time and there was fog in the air.
They talked together in low voices and planned all the things they would do when the long night was really upon them once more. When at last they came in sight of the Big Rock, they felt as if they had reached home after a very long journey. Koko stood up in the boat and pointed to it. "See," he cried, "there's the Big Rock where we found the bear!"
So he stuck his head into the other end of the tunnel and called, "Keep still. You'll wake the baby! I'll be there in a minute." Very soon Koko popped out of the black hole. He was dressed in a fur suit and mittens just like the twins. The three children went along together toward the Big Rock. Monnie rode on the sled, and Menie and Koko pulled it.
During the tranquillity that had now prevailed for more than a generation a new power had arisen on the Chinese frontier in the principality of Tangut or Hia. This state occupied the modern province of Kansuh, with some of the adjacent districts of Koko Nor and the Gobi Desert.
When Menie called the dogs, the dogs thought they were going to be harnessed, so they hid behind the igloo and pretended they didn't hear. Koko and Menie followed them, but the moment they got near, the dogs bounded away. They went round to the front of the igloo and ran into the tunnel. Koolee was just turning the meat in the pan with a pointed stick.
He looked upon Koko as a friend, but when a friend of Koko's a bird with an inquisitive mind and three red feathers in his tail dropped in one day to inspect the newcomer, he resented the intrusion, and screamed. He had a passion for flowers, or anything bright.
If Finland deserves the ordinary title of the "Land of Ten Thousand Lakes," the dominion of Koko Nor may certainly with justice be called the "Country of a Million Lakes." We skirted this lake on the west between it and Doulan Kitt, zigzagging between the numerous swamps, lakes and small rivers, deep and miry.
Monnie was with Koolee in the hut. By and by Koko said to Menie, "Let's go out on the ice and hunt for seal-holes." "All right," said Menie. "You take your bow and arrows and I'll take my spear. Maybe we shall see some little auks." Koko had a little bow made of deer's horns, and some bone arrows, and Menie had a small spear which his father had made for him out of driftwood.
I see him by the Big Rock; call the others." So she sent Monnie into the igloo of the Angakok, and Menie and Koko into the next huts. She herself screamed, "A bear! A bear!" into the tunnel of Koko's hut. The people in the houses had heard the dogs bark and were already awake. Soon they came pouring out of their tunnels armed with knives and lances.
