p and looked round for his wives, as if he
thought perhaps they had something to do with it. But they were at the
other end of the beach. The Angakok yawned and rubbed his nose, which
was a good deal swollen.

Just then Kesshoo spoke, "I think we shall look a long time before we
find a better spot than this to camp," he said. "Here are plenty of
salmon. We can catch all we need to dry for winter use, right here.
There must be deer farther up the fiord. What do you say to setting up
the tents right here?"

When Kesshoo said anything, the others were pretty sure to agree,
because Kesshoo was such a brave and skillful man that they trusted his
judgment.

All the men said, "Yes, let us stay."

Then the Angakok said, "Yes, my children, let us stay! While you
thought I was asleep here on the sand I was really in a trance. I
thought it best to ask my Tornak about this spot, and whether we should

Koolee led the way up the green slope to a level spot overlooking the
stream and the bay. It was beside some high rocks, and there were
smaller stones all about.

There was a flat stone that she used for the sleeping bench. When the
poles were set up and securely fastened, she got the tent skins and
covered the poles.

She put on one layer of skin with the hair inside and over that another
covering of skin with the fur side out. She sewed the skins together
over the entrance with leather thongs and left a flap for a door.

Then she placed stones around the edge of the tent covering to keep the
wind from blowing it away. She piled the bed skins on the rock, and
their summer house was ready.

The twins brought the musk-ox hides, with all their treasures in them,
and the cooking pots and knives and household things from the beach,
while Koolee made the fireplace in the tent.

She made the fireplace by driving four sticks into the ground and
lashing them together t
