McNamara aimed a fearful blow, but Glenister met him squarely, beating him off cleverly, stepping in and out, his arms swinging loosely from his shoulders like whalebone withes tipped with lead. He moved lightly, his footing made doubly secure by reason of his soft-soled mukluks.
I drifted out into the main river, ravin' mad, my 'Mukluks' eat off and my moose-hide gun cover inside of me. "A girl spied me from the village, and 'twas her brought me ashore in her birch-bark and tended me in her wick-i-up till reason came and the blood ran through me again. "I mind seein' a white man stand around at times and hearin' him beg her to leave me to the old squaws.
Kalitan, what would you like to remember the Esquimos by?" Kalitan smiled and replied, simply, "Mukluks." "What are mukluks?" demanded Ted. "Esquimo moccasins," said Mr. Strong. "Well, you shall both have a pair, and they are rather pretty things, too, as the Esquimos make them." The Esquimo village was reached across the tundra, and Teddy and Kalitan were much interested in the queer houses.
Hitherto we had often been fortunate could we buy a little flour and bacon; here the choice comestibles of the earth were for sale. I looked askance at my greasy parkee as I passed shops where English broadcloth and Scotch tweeds were displayed; at my worn, clumsy mukluks when I saw patent-leather pumps.
Emerson's first inquiry was for the body of the guide. "They brought him in this morning," answered the fisherman. "He's in cold storage at the church. When the priest comes over next month they'll bury him." "He was a right nice feller," said Fraser, "but I'm glad I ain't in his mukluks. If you two hadn't stuck to me well, him and me would have done a brother act at this church festival."
It became so soft and mushy that though snowshoes were needed, they could not be worn on account of the heavy snow which clung to them every time a foot was lifted. They wore mukluks, but Sheba was wet to the knees. The spring had gone from her step. Her shoulders began to sag. For some time Gordon's eye had been seeking a good place for a day camp.
