Well, the younger company runs the old one hard, and they've sent this steamer into winter quarters loaded with provisions, ready to start for Dawson the instant the ice goes out." "Why, then, it's the very boat that'll be takin' us to the Klondyke." "You just goin' down to have a look at her?" asked Potts enviously. "No. I go to get relief for the Pymeuts." "What's the matter with 'em?"
It struck him as comic that the upshot of the journey should be that he was doing penance for the Pymeuts, but he couldn't smile with that offended archangel in front of him. "Thirty miles over the ice, in the face of a norther, hasn't been so 'easy' even for me. And I'm not old, nor sick no, nor frightened, Brother Paul."
Michael's, and how the white camp had saved him from starvation; how in turn the Pymeuts had pulled the speaker out of a blow-hole; what tremendous friends the Pymeuts were with these particular, very good sort of white men. Here he seemed to allow by implication for Peetka's prejudice there were two kinds of pale-face strangers and on an impulse he drew out Muckluck's medal.
But Nicholas had got a grip of him, and while two of the Pymeuts hung on to the half-stunned Colonel to prevent his adding to the complication, Nicholas, with a good deal of trouble in spite of Yagorsha's help, hauled the Boy out of the hole and dragged him up on the ice-edge.
Long time" he motioned back into the ages with one slim brown hand "fore Holy Cross here, Yukon Inua take good care Pymeuts." "No tell Father Wills?" "No." Then in a low guttural voice: "Shamán come again." "Gracious! When?" "To-night." "Jiminny Christmas!" They sat and smoked and coughed.
Me no stan' wicked people. When me young me kill two ol' squaws witches!" With an outward gesture of his lean claws he swept these wicked ones off the face of the earth, like a besom of the Lord. A sudden change had passed over the tired face of the priest. "Go, go!" he called out, driving the Pymeuts forth as one shoos chickens out of a garden.
But he was far from satisfied with his conduct all the same. It was quite possible that the Pymeuts, discovering her absence, would think he had lured her away, and there might be complications. So it was with small fervour that he said: "Muckluck, I wish you'd come back and wait till morning." "No, I go now."
Think of the Pymeuts doing their sixty miles over the ice just to apologise to Father Brachet for being Pymeuts. This other, this white man's penance might, would involve a greater mortification of the flesh. What then? The reward was proportionate "plenty of gold." The faint whisper filled the air. A little more hardship, and the long process of fortune-building is shortened to a few months.
He jumped up to bar her exit. She gave him a smart cuff across the eyes, which surprised him almost into the fire, and while he was recovering his equilibrium she fled. Yagorsha and all the Pymeuts laughed delightedly at Joe's discomfiture. The Boy had been obliged to sit up to watch this spirited encounter. The only notice the Colonel took of him was to set the kettle on the fire.
"You are one of us?" he asked, "of ze Church?" "No, I I'm afraid I'm not of any Church." "Ah!" "And I ought to take back 'afraid. But I'm telling you the truth when I say there never were honester penitents than the Pymeuts. The whole Kachime's miserable. Even the girl, Ol' Chief's daughter she cried like anything when she thought Sister " "Winifred?"
