To be quite correct, you must go from skin to marrow." Nuna acknowledged this by violently plunging her cooking-stick into the pot. "Well now, Nuna," continued Rooney, in a confidential tone, "tell me " At that moment he was interrupted by the entrance of the master of the mansion, who quietly sat down on another skull close to his friend.
Scarcely had Nuna ascended a few steps when half a company of sepoys, with a corporal and five English soldiers, and led by a British officer, appeared in front of the building. Reginald shouted out to them that he was an Englishman, and that having rescued the rajah's daughter from a band of rebels, he was returning with her to her father. "I don't believe you," answered the officer.
In the spirit-land Angut and Nunaga, Okiok, Nuna, Simek, and all the Innuit friends, when washed in the blood of Jesus, will again see the face of Ridroonee, and rejoice." This was the first time that Angut had distinctly declared his faith, and it afforded matter for profound satisfaction to Rooney, who grasped and warmly shook his friend's hand.
Okiok and Nuna had indeed begun the conversation thus, but had been immediately checked by Angut, whose intelligence had long ago taught him that no sound is so apt to awaken a sleeper as the hiss of a whisper; and that a steady, low-toned hum of conversation is more fitted to deepen than interrupt slumber.
He chanced to be standing beside a mass of turf which Okiok had cut from the ground for the purpose of making a dry seat for Nuna. Seizing this, Ippegoo hurled it at the head of the drunken Eskimo. Never before did the feeble youth make such a good shot. Full on the flat face of the drunkard it went, like the wad of a siege-gun, scattering earth and debris all round and down went the Eskimo.
At the time this conversation was being held in the sea-green cave, Okiok, rising from his lair with a prodigious yawn, said to his wife "Nuna, I go to see Kunelik." "And what may ye-a-o-u -my husband want with the mother of Ippegoo?" asked Nuna sleepily, but without moving. "I want to ye-a-o-u -ask about her son."
I dare say the wife of Okiok would like to hear what that message is." "Huk! That is true," said Nuna quickly. "And," continued Issek, "Ippegoo speaks of the suspicions of Angut. What does he suspect? We would all like to know that." "Huk! huk! That is also true," exclaimed every one. "My son," whispered Kunelik, "silence is the only hope of a fool. Speak not at all."
"True, father," returned Norrak quietly, "but if we don't boast in the morning, the men do it so much all the rest of the day that we'll have no chance." "These two will be a match for you in talk before long," remarked Nuna, after her sons had left. "Ay, and also in body," returned the father, who was rather proud of his well-grown boys.
The khan had been defeated, and Mukund Bhim's followers, with the rabble of the city, had for some hours been engaged in plundering his house and those of his relatives, he and all of them having been put to death. Reginald's anxiety regarding Nuna was in no way relieved, as his host could not tell what had become of her.
Then he goes on his knees every night before lying down, and every morning when he rises, and speaks to himself." "Why?" cried every one in blazing astonishment. "I know not," replied Nuna, "and he does not tell." "He must be a fool," suggested Kunelik. "I suppose so," returned Nuna, "yet he does not look like a fool."
