Text Appearing Before Image:
LDREN OF THE ARCTIC By the middle of June the sea ice was coveredwith pools of water, and it was no easy task toget ashore from the ship without getting the feetwet. Snow buntings (our snowbirds) were flit-ting about the rocks, and small tufts of greengrass were to be seen here and there. The Eskimos harpooned some narwhal out atthe edge of the ice, and AH-NI-GHI-TO isperhaps the only little white girl who ever sawthese strange Arctic sea animals, with their longwhite ivorv horns and huee tails. It was now decided to help free the ship byhaving the men saw a road through the ice tothe open water beyond. Saws eight and ten feet long were used, andfor weeks the sawino- went on. Sometimes a bottle filled with gunpowder waslet down under the ice through a hole thathad been drilled, and the long fuse that hadbeen fastened to it was lighted. When the firereached the powder it exploded; but althoughit cracked the ice for a little distance, very littlewas broken off. 90 CHILDREN OF THE ARCTIC
