"How many sleeps?" inquired Gibbs, meaning to ask how many days' journey it was. Kuiktuk held up the fingers of one hand. "He says its a five days' 'mush' from here," interpreted Gibbs. "Will you go with us to the place?" from Dunbar. "Me want cow-cow ameluktuk," mumbled the medicine man slowly.
These and many like inquiries were made by the men, but were answered in the negative. The shaman kept silent. This was finally noticed by Gibbs, who immediately imagined that here was the only source from which the desired information could be gained. Kuiktuk had intended it so. In his corner of the igloo he had ruminated long and earnestly.
Taking his pipe from his mouth he pulled himself slowly together as if about to speak. "Say, Kuiktuk, old man, what is it? Can you tell us where to find the yellow stuff we look for?" keenly inquired Dunbar. The Eskimo slowly nodded. "Is it far from here?" A shake of the head in reply. "How far? Where?" eagerly asked the men in a breath. He pointed in a southeasterly direction.
Then Kuiktuk took courage, picked up the broken ends of his matrimonial cable, and putting them together as best he could, devoutly hoped he had seen the last of the youthful lover. Now, after a year, he returned. Not only so, but he had brought others with him who might aggravate the situation; and the old Eskimo's heart was sore.
