The expedition, it will be seen, was somewhat of the nature of a forlorn hope, for drifting snow quickly obliterates tracks, and if the natives, when found, should turn out to be hostile, they would probably take from him his little possessions, if not also his life. But Nazinred's love for Adolay was too strong to admit of his allowing such thoughts to weigh with him.
Another of Doocheek's weaknesses was a desire to ape the men, and think himself a man in consequence. This, coupled with a consuming curiosity in regard to Nazinred's tobacco-pipe, caused him to observe for he was remarkably observant that the Indian had, for the first time since he resided among them, gone off on an expedition and left his pipe behind him accidentally, no doubt.
But there was one passenger in Nazinred's canoe who cared little for interfering with human plans namely, Attim, whose shaggy head rested on the gunwale as he gazed and snuffed anxiously. The moment the canoes came within a few yards of the shore, the excited dog plunged over the side with a huge bound. He was a magnificent swimmer, and reached the land in a few seconds.
"Listen!" exclaimed the boy, holding it up to Cheenbuk's ear, and giving it a shake; "it speaks." "What is it?" murmured the Eskimo. "I don't know, but it does not like shaking, for it only speaks a little when I shake it. I tried squeezing, but it does not care for that." Here again Nazinred's superior knowledge came into play, though to a limited extent.
