The youth said this in a meditative tone, for it had occurred to him for a moment that the girl was now in his power; that he could compel her to get into the bow of the canoe, and might steer her to his home at Waruskeek if he chose, whether she would or no. But Cheenbuk's soul was chivalrous. He was far in advance of his kindred and his times.
Let us sit down now and make it out." Sitting down beside the cold hearth of the old home, father and child began to spell out Isquay's letter, while Cheenbuk looked on in admiring silence and listened. The letter bore a strong family likeness to that which had formerly been written or drawn by Adolay at Waruskeek, showing clearly whence the girl had derived her talent.
When at last the ocean currents and summer heat broke up the solid floes and set the icebergs free to resume their majestic southward course, our Eskimos put their sledges en cache, got out kayaks and oomiaks, and, wielding both the short and the long paddle, started off towards the southwest, in the direction of Waruskeek some of the tribe, however, with a few of the old people, remaining behind.
In the course of time Cheenbuk's youngsters and Nootka's progeny insisted on keeping up the intercourse that had been so auspiciously begun, and even the easy-going Cowlik became uneasy unless the fire-eating Magadar went with her occasionally to Waruskeek.
The weeks that followed weeks of ever increasing light and warmth were spent in examining and sorting their material into packages suitable for transport on sledges to their summer quarters at Waruskeek. And here again the knowledge possessed by Nazinred of the habits and implements of the white men was of great service.
