We are now, at least, safe from the cold, as you will all, I think, soon have the pleasure of perceiving." "You are right, Mr. Phillips," responded Carvil; "and it is strange some of us did not think of building a snow-house at the outset. Even the wild partridges, that in coldest weather protect themselves by burrowing in the snow, might have taught us the lesson."
But even such cold as that could not get down to the hidden snow-house where the old bear lay so sound asleep." The Child wagged his head wistfully at the picture, and then cheered himself with the resolve to build just such a snowhouse in the back yard that winter if only there should fall enough snow. But he managed to hold his tongue about it.
And then we can make one," said David. "Perhaps I could make one in Boston," said Caleb. "Ho!" said Dwight, with a tone of contempt, "you couldn't make a snow-house." "But there are enough other boys in Boston to help me," said Caleb. "There is not any good place," said Mary Anna, in a mild and pleasant tone. "There is only a very small yard, and that is full of wood piles."
I knew that if all had gone well I should be a man high up in the Company, and here I was, living like a dog in the porch of the world, sometimes without other food for months than frozen fish; and for two years I was in a place where we had no fire, lived in a snow-house, with only blubber to eat. And so year after year, no word!" "The mail came once every year from the world?"
Bell obeyed tremblingly; for who knew how many human bodies the mound contained? "These men have been the victims of the same accident that almost happened to us," said the doctor. "Their snow-house tumbled in. Let us see if any one of them is still alive." The place was soon cleared, and Bell dug out a third body, that of a man of forty, who had not the cadaverous look of the others.
Then he would run, with his heart in his mouth, to find him; everything else was indifferent to him. One Sunday morning, as he was sweeping the snow in the yard, the girls were in their garden; they were making a snowman. "Hey, Pelle!" they cried, and they clapped their mittens; "come over here! You can help us to build a snow-house.
Rest had cleared his brain again. He knew that it was an igloo. He could make out the door, and he caught up his lantern and stumbled toward it. He wasted half a dozen matches before he could make a light. Then he crawled in, with Kazan still in his traces close at his heels. There was a musty, uncomfortable odor in the snow-house. And there was no sound, no movement.
He also made pictures of ships which we took care should be rigged properly. There were two variations of this dream of adventure one involving a snow-house, with appropriate episodes such as nocturnal attacks by bears, wolves, and the like, and then we planned a sea voyage.
The captain had been down into the depths of the snow-house, and had searched about carefully. He came up holding a half-burnt fragment of a letter. These words were on it: ... tamont ... orpoise ... w York. "Altamont!" cried the doctor, of the ship Porpoise, of New York." "An American," said Hatteras. "I'll save him," said the doctor, "and then we shall know all about it."
"I don't believe I want to work any more on the snow-house," she said soberly, as she and Betty finished putting away the dishes. "You and the boys can finish up if you like, but I'm almost too tired to move." "Well, I don't care," answered Betty good-naturedly. "I ought to be working on my Christmas presents anyway, and I've had a pretty good airing this morning.
