Ungava I am constrained to believe that the Esquimau dog will do more work, and with less food, than any other draught animal existing. Schwatka's Search Expeditions on foot—Effects of darkness on dogs and men—The first death—Caught in a trap—The Esquimau camp. The World of Ice As the arrow leaps from the bow the Esquimau sprang forward in pursuit. Ungava This was a fortunate supply to the Esquimau, whose powers of endurance were fast failing. Ungava With the characteristic indifference of a man accustomed to the vicissitudes and the disappointments of a hunter’s life, the elder Esquimau uttered a grunt and turned away. Ungava This house is called an oglow, and is constructed very much like an Esquimau igloo in shape, though it is more irregular and has ramifications that extend to neighboring holes. Schwatka's Search One young Esquimau, howsiver, would have another slap at it, and went so close that the brute charged, upset the kayak, and ripped the man up with his tusks. The World of Ice Instantly comprehending her meaning, the Esquimau stepped boldly from his place of concealment and shook his fist contemptuously in the face of his enemies. Ungava But although an Esquimau, he exhibited several physical peculiarities not commonly supposed to belong to that people. Ungava The Esquimau language seemed a mere trifle to him, and he conversed, while playing the violin, with several “purty craytures” in their native tongue, with an amount of volubility quite surprising. Ungava The Esquimau theory is, that if not deserving of the whip this time he would be before long, and so might as well receive it now as any time. Schwatka's Search Ere any one could reply, their ears were saluted by the well-known bark of a pack of Esquimau dogs. The World of Ice A loud laugh greeted this proposal, as the Indians surveyed the huge proportions of my Esquimau. Ungava In a few seconds it struck a hard substance, and the Esquimau, putting his hand into the hole, drew forth a glittering axe, upon which he gazed with supreme satisfaction. Ungava In doing this, he revealed the huge proportions of the gigantic Esquimau whom we introduced to our reader in a former chapter. Ungava I can now eat almost anything an Esquimau can, and almost as much. Schwatka's Search Here they left the floes, and took to the natural highway afforded by the ice-belt, along which they sped more rapidly, and arrived at the Esquimau village in the course of about five hours. The World of Ice The other fish were then similarly treated; and while the Esquimau was thus engaged, Frank and Edith continued their sport. Ungava On entering, he observed the old Esquimau listening with anxious countenance to the young girl whom we have already introduced to the reader. Ungava Such was Edith, and no sooner had she conceived the idea of attempting to find the Esquimau camp than she proceeded to put it in execution. Ungava Nothing would seem more abhorrent to an Esquimau mind than the thought of striking a man or boy; but to strike a woman or girl is, on the contrary, quite proper, and, indeed, laudable. Schwatka's Search "It must be an Esquimau grave," said Fred, as he retreated hastily; "that must be the reason why Meetuck tried to hinder us." The World of Ice The elder Esquimau cast a doubtful glance at his nephew, while he lowered the point of his spear and seemed to hesitate; but the boy did not wait. Ungava But no sooner had the Esquimau retired than he was closely followed and watched by the whole party. Ungava But the bold Esquimau was in the prime of life, and animated by the fire of vigorous youth. Ungava On the mainland the place is marked where the old Ookjoolik Esquimau saw the footprints of the last survivors of the 'Erebus' and 'Terror' in the spring snows of the year 1849. Schwatka's Search A dull flame flickered in a stone lamp which hung from the roof, and revealed the figure of a large Esquimau reclining on a couch of skins at the raised side of the hut. The World of Ice The lamp to which Frank referred was one which Maximus had brought, along with a few other articles, from the Esquimau camp. Ungava The Esquimau girl and her captor followed; and the whole band, silently and in single file, commenced to retrace their steps to the far distant hunting-grounds of the Cree Indians. Ungava The Esquimau replied by a loud chuckle, and a full display of his magnificent teeth, which Frank understood to signify a decided negative. Ungava The old man did not seem to understand the matter very clearly and went out for an interpreter, whom he found in "Esquimau Joe." Schwatka's Search Since then I have been living the life of an Esquimau, awaiting an opportunity of escape either by a ship making its appearance or a tribe of natives travelling south. The World of Ice That night Frank and his little charge sat down to sup together in the igloo at the head of their snow-table, and Chimo acted the part of croupier in the room of the Esquimau. Ungava Directing his course along the western shores of the river, the Esquimau speedily reached the coast at a point where several low, rough-built summer huts clustered near the shore. Ungava As it rose, the Esquimau threw up his arm and poised the harpoon. Ungava The ice on the lake was five feet thick, but by dint of great perseverance the Esquimau succeeded in making several holes through it ere Frank returned. Ungava The applause was frequent and prolonged, and the two Esquimau prisoners rolled about their burly figures and laughed till the tears ran down their fat cheeks. The World of Ice We may remark, however, that Esquimau ideas of roominess and comfort in their dwellings differ very considerably from ours. Ungava Like one who is suddenly paralysed, the Esquimau stood transfixed in the attitude in which he had been arrested. Ungava When the gale came on the Esquimau hunters prepared to return home as fast as possible, fearing that the decaying ice might break up and drift away with them out to sea. Ungava I thought as much, for I knew that the Esquimau could never have invented and writ that out of his own head, ye see. Ungava It was also left a matter of uncertainty whether Ben Bolt and his Esquimau bride returned to live happily during the remainder of their lives in England, or took up their permanent abode with Blunderbore. The World of Ice As Edith gazed, the Esquimau put out his hand with the stealthy motion of a cat and lifted his spear. Ungava By his side lay a long hunting spear, and a double-bladed paddle, fully fifteen feet long; which latter belonged to a kayak, or Esquimau canoe, that lay on the sand close to the water’s edge. Ungava Having paddled close to the whale, the Esquimau fixed the harpoon deep in its side, and threw the dan overboard. Ungava Thought is not quicker than the mighty wrench with which the Esquimau burst the remaining cord and dashed his opponent to the ground. Ungava A loud voice shouted something in the Esquimau language from within the hut. The World of Ice Indeed, the fact of the broken exclamations uttered by the pair being in the Esquimau tongue put this beyond a doubt. Ungava Sitting there, motionless as the rocks around him, the giant looked like a colossal statue of an Esquimau. Ungava From the day of her son’s death, a feeling of sympathy had sprung up between Old Moggy and the Esquimau girl, and this had gradually strengthened into affection. Ungava Ere he could fire his piece he received a blow from the fist of the Esquimau that fractured his skull, hurled him down the steep ascent, and dashed him against his comrades in the rear. Ungava Two hours later and they came to a wide expanse of level ground at the foot of the high cliffs, where a group of Esquimau huts, similar to those they had left, was descried. The World of Ice “Me no like to ’member dat,” said the Esquimau, with a sorrowful shake of the head. Ungava Meanwhile the Esquimau, ignorant of the fate from which he had just escaped, continued to ply his paddle with right good will. Ungava Scarcely had the stout Esquimau proceeded a few steps along the shore, when he was met by a young girl who laid her hand on his arm. Ungava But the Esquimau had other matters than love in his head just then, and the girl’s face assumed a grave and somewhat anxious look as he continued to whisper in her ear. Ungava "Give the dogs a cut, old fellow," said Buzzby, with a chuckle and a motion of his arm to the Esquimau who drove his sledge. The World of Ice He was of the Esquimau breed, and bore some resemblance to the Newfoundland, but was rather shorter in the legs, longer in the body, and more powerfully made. Ungava “We also found the broken head of an Esquimau seal-spear, and this little bit of sealskin.” Ungava In the councils of the fur-traders the subject of Esquimau wrongs had been mooted, and plans for the amelioration of their condition devised. Ungava That old lady was an Esquimau, whose age might be algebraically expressed as an unknown quantity. The World of Ice Its ferocity and strength remained unabated, while the men—sailors and Esquimau alike—were nearly exhausted. The World of Ice |
