The giant sat up. "Where are they? I see no bears. Where are they?" he asked. "There! There! Don't you see them?" cried the Inuit. "What! those little things! They are not worth all this bustle. They are nothing but small foxes." And he crushed one between his fingers, and put the other into the eyelet of his boot to strangle it. Ka-lo-pa-ling is a strange being who lives in the northern seas.
Once in a while, but not often, some of the Inuit took pity on them and brought them seal's meat, and blubber for their lamp. One day the boy was so hungry that he cried aloud. His grandmother told him to be quiet, but he cried the harder. She became vexed with him and cried out, "Ho, Kalopaling, come and take this fretful boy away!"
For some reason the Tornit did not make kayaks for themselves, although they saw how convenient they were for hunting when the ice broke up in the spring. Every little while they would steal a boat from the Inuit, who did not dare fight for their property because the thieves were so much stronger.
I have frequently timed an Inuit as he started for a seal on the ice, and found it takes about an hour from the time he starts in pursuit until the shot is fired. It is amusing to watch the countenance of the seal through a spy-glass. They have such an intelligent and human look that you can almost imagine what they are thinking.
"Here is the stone the Inuit uses for pots what you call soapstone." "Well, I hope we shall not need it," said La Salle, "for the North Cape is now only ten miles away, and it is not yet noon. I want the blubber for fuel, or I would not waste time with this skin even." "We shall have all we want to get back to George. See how the clouds close in. Plenty snow right away now.
