Pagan and Christian creeds: their origin and meaning And he was particularly careful not to show himself above the breastwork of boulders behind which he, with his companions, were crouching, holding the Aleuts at bay. On a Torn-Away World Or, the Captives of the Great Earthquake The eyes of the old Aleut were first to discover this, and he began to shout and gesticulate as several pairs of glasses were turned upon it. The Young Alaskans My Aleuts seemed to think that the bears were probably near, having come down to the shore in search of kelp. American Big Game in Its Haunts What did the Aleut Indian care for the law's slow jargon? Vikings of the Pacific The Adventures of the Explorers who Came from the West, Eastward The Aleut boy surprised them very much by his sudden use of English. The Young Alaskans The old Aleut chief saw the boys as they came up. The Young Alaskans Now, a few fathoms at a time, the native edged the bidarka up toward his game, precisely as the Aleut chief had approached the whale. The Young Alaskans We understood but little Russian and Aleut, yet their expressive gestures made it quite possible to catch the drift of what was being said. American Big Game in Its Haunts The warning of danger was from the mother of the little Aleut, who reported that sixty hostiles were advancing on the ship under pretence of trading sea-otter. Vikings of the Pacific The Adventures of the Explorers who Came from the West, Eastward “Now you mush on!” he ordered the Aleut, pointing to the carcass of the bear. The Young Alaskans Quick as were their movements, they were none too soon, for as they rushed across the narrow part of the creek bend they saw the Aleut almost upon them. The Young Alaskans Two or three days more passed in this strange situation, but nothing took place which even to Rob’s watchful eye seemed to indicate any danger from either of their Aleut companions. The Young Alaskans The Aleut, not doubting at the first of these motions that they intended to kill him, fell upon his knees and began to jabber, apparently begging for mercy. The Young Alaskans If it is warm weather, the Aleut will turn his skin skiff upside down, crawl into the hole head first and sleep there. Vikings of the Pacific The Adventures of the Explorers who Came from the West, Eastward He gazed steadily at the figure of the Aleut in the faint light of the embers. The Young Alaskans The Aleut made no further disturbance during the long hours of waiting, which seemed endless to the two young watchers. The Young Alaskans Jimmy caught up his bow and arrows, and the Aleut boy his short spear. The Young Alaskans His own rifle and that of Jesse he put in one end of the dory, opposite the seat where he intended the Aleut to sit. The Young Alaskans At that time, and until very recently, the Aleuts' winter dwelling was a domed, thatched roof over a cellar excavation three or four feet deep, circular and big enough to lodge a dozen families. Vikings of the Pacific The Adventures of the Explorers who Came from the West, Eastward The Aleut grinned as Rob tossed him his rough-looking line of hide, and at once set to work. The Young Alaskans The Aleut paid no attention to this, but went on with his work, once in awhile helping himself to a piece of raw fat. The Young Alaskans At last, almost exhausted, it showed once more, and the older Aleut sent home an arrow at the back of its head which killed it at once. The Young Alaskans Again the Aleut smiled in his distorted way, but whether or not he understood no one could tell. The Young Alaskans Abuse, cruelty, outrage, accumulated on the heads of the poor Aleuts. Vikings of the Pacific The Adventures of the Explorers who Came from the West, Eastward Rob pointed up the creek, but with a sudden sweep of his paddle the Aleut turned the other way and started for the sea. The Young Alaskans The Aleut, although apparently a native of the country where the language of the dog-train was little known, nevertheless seemed to understand the Alaskan command to “March!” The Young Alaskans Rob now guessed the truth, which was that this Aleut savage had heard the shots and had entered the mouth of the creek in his boat. The Young Alaskans The boys now saw that whale-hunting among the Aleuts is a partnership affair, a whole village sharing equally in the spoils. The Young Alaskans The Aleuts exchanged their sea-otter for what iron they could get, and departed without any sign. Vikings of the Pacific The Adventures of the Explorers who Came from the West, Eastward They all fell to work now, the boys at one of the cubs and the Aleut at the other. The Young Alaskans The Aleuts, who never see any fresh beef, and who live in a country where not even caribou are often found, are very fond of bear meat, which the more civilized ones call “beef.” The Young Alaskans Evidently, if the Aleut had any companion, he was not in that part of the island. The Young Alaskans The young Aleut was awake also, but he smiled as he sat up on the blankets. The Young Alaskans It is no part of this story to tell how the Cossack, Solovieff, entered on a campaign of punishment for the Aleuts when he came. Vikings of the Pacific The Adventures of the Explorers who Came from the West, Eastward It opened, and the swarthy face of the Aleut chief peered in. The Young Alaskans The old Aleut sat and thought for a while. The Young Alaskans Rob followed him to see that he attempted no treachery, but the Aleut seemed to have no intention of that. The Young Alaskans It may be supposed, therefore, that this young Aleut made the best of instructors for the young companions who found themselves castaway in this remote region. The Young Alaskans Let the wind roar above and the ice bang the shore rocks, the Aleut swathed in furs sleeps sound close to earth. Vikings of the Pacific The Adventures of the Explorers who Came from the West, Eastward The Aleut boy did not at first reply, because he did not know how to do so. The Young Alaskans It was always a problem how much English the Aleut understood or did not understand. The Young Alaskans Without instruction the Aleut now bent to his oars as hard as he could, and hurried to the beach which lay not far beyond. The Young Alaskans The Aleut, with another grunt, pulled the fish in, swung it over the sides, and threw it flopping at the bottom of the dory. The Young Alaskans Later, schooners, thirty or forty of them, gathered the hunters at some main fur post, stowed the light skin kyacks in piles on the decks, and carried the Aleuts to the otter grounds. Vikings of the Pacific The Adventures of the Explorers who Came from the West, Eastward He began to make signs to the Aleut. The Young Alaskans Pieces of drift-wood lay about, mingled with skeletons of foxes, bones of salmon and codfish—all the uncleanliness of an Aleut dwelling. The Young Alaskans The Aleuts never allow the women of their villages to look at the nogock, saying that it brings bad luck for any one to look at it or touch it except the chief himself. The Young Alaskans As its round head, with bright, staring eyes, thrust up above the water, there came the twang of the young Aleut’s bow, and the second arrow chugged into the body of the otter. The Young Alaskans The only provisions on the carrying schooner are hams, rancid butter or grease, some rye bread and flour; the only clothing, what the Aleut hunters wear. Vikings of the Pacific The Adventures of the Explorers who Came from the West, Eastward Indeed, the young Aleut, not much farther on, began now to stoop and examine the trail closely. The Young Alaskans They all crawled out of the low-hung door and followed the Aleut to the spot where they had left their fish concealed. The Young Alaskans As he hesitated the chief turned away from the door, and the Aleuts now began to jabber among themselves. The Young Alaskans As a matter of fact, a shallow cavern existed directly under them in the side of the cañon wall, and it was at the mouth of this that the Aleut had built his fire. The Young Alaskans Gaff or paddle in hand, the Aleut leaps from rock to rock, or dashes among the tumbling beds of tossed kelp. Vikings of the Pacific The Adventures of the Explorers who Came from the West, Eastward At last he gave a loud, sharp call, in which an instant later the Aleut boy joined. The Young Alaskans And they all departed, the Aleut boy with them, to the lower reaches of the stream, where, as has been said, the salmon now more frequently resorted. The Young Alaskans My folks’ll pay him whatever is right, if it comes to that; and you never saw an Aleut who wasn’t glad to get hold of a little money, I’ll warrant that.” The Young Alaskans The Aleut, understanding perfectly what was required, again caught the thongs by their central ring and deftly began to whirl them about his head. The Young Alaskans Keeping his own counsel, and preserving as stern an expression as he could, Rob sat and looked at the Aleut chieftain steadily. The Young Alaskans “We can’t do anything more than just wait, anyhow; and I suppose that our friend here”—he motioned to the Aleut boy—“will see that we get our share of the whale meat.” The Young Alaskans Skora!” said the Aleut, and began to hunt about for wood. The Young Alaskans With a splash the seal disappeared, but giving a shout the Aleut pushed off the dory and called to them all to get in. The Young Alaskans In truth the Aleut seemed to accept the place assigned him. The Young Alaskans In reply to this the Aleut stooped down, went out of the door, and walked over to the bidarka, where it lay at the bank. The Young Alaskans With a swift, sure movement the Aleut boy had gaffed the salmon, and an instant later it was flapping high and dry at the top of the bank. The Young Alaskans As may be supposed, it was the Aleut chief whom he addressed, and the latter now engaged in a very anxious attempt at explanation. The Young Alaskans The humming chorus of the Aleuts continued, but fell to a lower note as the boats drew near. The Young Alaskans Within ten miles the sharp-eyed Aleut detected a flat bit of beach, and the interpreter suggested that a boat be sent ashore to examine it, as it was sometimes used as a camping-place. The Young Alaskans They saw a camp with three white boys and one refugee Aleut.” The Young Alaskans The Aleut lad was truthful, for neither he nor any of his family had ever crossed the island here, and he knew nothing of what lay ahead. The Young Alaskans The Aleut boy jabbered at him in excited tones, apparently accusing or reproaching him. The Young Alaskans The Aleut chief addressed himself once more to Rob. The Young Alaskans |
