We didn't even know Murray's whereabouts thought he was in Kyak, until he sounded the tocsin from New York. The other boys have quit their jobs and I've sold my practice." "It's a railroad!" Dr. Gray grinned. "Well! That's the tone I use when I break the news that it's a girl instead of a boy." "It's a railroad," Slater repeated, "up the Salmon River!" "Good Lord! What about those glaciers?"
Kyak was nearer Seattle, by many miles, than Omar; it was closer to the coal and copper fields, and the proven permanence of their breakwater would render useless further attempts to finance the S. R. & N. But in the entrance of Curtis Gordon into the field O'Neil recognized danger.
Kyak harbor is wiped off the map, and I'm alone in the field." "How about this fellow Gordon?" "He'll be broke in a year. Incidentally, that's my trouble." "But I'm told you can't pass the glaciers." "I can. Parker says he'll have the bridge done by spring." "Then I'd bank on it. I'd believe Parker if I knew he was lying. If you both agree, I haven't the slightest doubt."
They would have liked it better still if Monnie had been a boy, too, because boys grow up to hunt and fish and help get food for the family. But Kesshoo was the best hunter and the best kyak man in the whole village. So he said to Koolee, "I suppose there must be girls in the world. It is no worse for us than for others."
"I will not get into it again," and I rubbed my wrist upon which the skin had been slightly bruised, and he assisted me to my feet. The native laughed. "Kyak no good riding heap better run," he said. "That's so, Ituk, but my feet are very cold." "Get warm quick you running," was his reply, and we started on again.
"We'll hire our men and our boats to-night," he announced. "I've arranged for that freighter to drop us off at Omar on her way out. We'll have to row from there to Kyak. I expected to land my horses at the coast and pack in from Kyak Bay, but that shipwreck changed my plans. Poor brutes! After my experience I'll never swim horses in this water again."
Because one man was alleged to have broken his contract the Government broke its contract with every man who had staked a coal claim, not only at Kyak, but anywhere else in Alaska. Guilty and innocent were treated alike. I was one of the latter. Was our money returned to us? No! The Government had it and it kept it, along with the land.
They were getting quite near the place where the ice had broken with Menie, when suddenly, right near them, they saw the head and great, round eyes of a seal! It was the seal mother. She had come back to find her breathing hole and her baby. The moment Kesshoo saw her he seized his dart, which lay in its place on top of his kyak, and threw it with all his might at the seal.
I find railroads very troublesome at times." "Well, you're on time to the minute," said Heidlemann. "Now tell me about Kyak. Trevor cables that you were there during the storm which ruined us." The head of the copper syndicate did not look like a man facing ruin; in fact, he seemed more curious to hear of the physical phenomena of that hurricane than of its effect upon his fortunes.
"You'll go East and see our people, I suppose?" "At once." "Tell them what you saw. They'll never understand from my reports. They're good people. If there's anything I can do " O'Neil took his hand warmly. Two days later Murray bade the girls good-by, and left, traveling light. They remained in Kyak so that Eliza might complete her investigations.
