surprised and quite offended about it. He sat up 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 be threatened here by any hidden danger. My Tornak says to
stay!"

This settled the matter.

"Tell the women," said Kesshoo. Koko's father went over to the
place where the women and children were.

"Get out the tent poles," he called to them. "Here's where we
stay."
