"Come on!" called Rob; and in an instant they were hurrying to join the scene of confusion which now was enacting on the beach. As they reached the top of the sea-wall they saw for the first time the full party of natives, not more than half of whom had come over to the camp. More than thirty bidarkas lay pulled up along the beach, most of them two-hatch boats.
What still remains unexplained is the native one-sided method of paddling; that is to say, in a two-hatch baidarka, both natives make six or seven short strokes on one side together, and then change to the other side. An absolutely straight course is thus impossible, but the Aleut is a creature of habit, and smiles at all new suggestions.
There was a ragged blanket of fur thrust under the deck between the hatches. "He's been cruising along the coast," said Rob; "but this is a two-hatch bidarka, so probably he's got a partner somewhere around." "Maybe he's up at our house now stealing everything we left there," suggested Jesse. "Yes, and maybe it's his house that we've moved into," added John.
