Story of Umnakus
The Sun Child
By e. p. s
Episode IV
For many days Chief Nackofus
led the natives in taking care of
the wrapped dead. Each corpse or
wrapping now had its own pyramid
and no longer the eagles and ra
vens hovered over the burying
place.
Then Nackolus had them dig a
deep pit and showed them how to
make fire and the de>ep pit was
filled with drift wood and the meat
from the great fish was cooked.
Stones were heated and dropped
into water holes in the hollowed
rocks and into great skins of water,
so that the meat was cooked in
boiling water also.
Ever at the side of Nackolus was
his mate Um, and from her he
found out that there were other
natives on the island, who often
made wTar on them and carried off
their girls as slaves. Many snows
before, Um had told Nackolus her
two older brothers had led a par
ty against a great tribe who lived
at the foot of the Great White
Mountain, but they had been
stoned to death and all eaten but
one old man who had crawled into
the water and swam away, and
came back many days later.
Urn’s clothing had been made
from the skins of the sea parrots,
which were snared at night time.
Nackolus taught the natives how
to make bows and arrows and soon
had an army of bowmen, who killed
many sea parrots and gray geese
for the winter. Um had the finest
bow of all, and of all the bowmen,
her arrow was truest.
When the snow was on the
ground, Nackolus picked 20 bow
men and started for the Great
White Mountain that loomed up In
the distance. The tall grass and
swamps made traveling difficult
even when partially covered with
snow. They dared not travel along
the beaches nor wThen the sky was
clear, for on the watch towers that
crowned every hill an enemy was
suspected
Missing Fingers was second in
command, and to him Nackolus
trusted the way of advance. Miss
ing Fingers had lost his left hand
fingers when the Snow Mountain
tribe had carried off his sisters
many snows before, and he had
stoned their captor. His tiny fin
gers had been bitten off by the an
gry captors as he held the 2 fight
ing girls.
Now Missing Fingers sought re
venge and also a slave girl. He had
become an expert bowman and his
great bow could drive a heavy ar
row with a force nearly equal to
that of the mighty Nacolus.
And now, as they reached the
slopes of the Great White Moun
t a i n, a violent snow storm
came on, and the bowmen sought
shelter under ledges along the
beach. All night the snow drifted,
and in the early morning Missing
Fingers went out to reconnoiter.
After a considerable lapse of time
the whole party followed the trail
of Missing Fingers, who had not
returned. |
Nackolus carried his mighty
spear, and, well it was, for suddenly,
a shower of stones struck down
several bowman and broke the
powerful bow on his back. This,
indeed, prevented the jagged rock
from piercing his back. Utering
a cry of surprise and encourage
ment to his frightened comrades,
Nackolus bounded up the slope and
confronted the stone throwers.
Each was armed with a club to
which was lashed a jagged rock,
making a formidable weapon.
Nackolus counted a full score in
the near ranks and many more
lurking around the'distant piles of
snow.
