THE ESKIMOS AND THE MISSION 



thelpoor girl on the bed of reindeer skins whispers 

 her " Nakomk ; " the crowd on the slope of the 

 frozen beach sings me off into the storm ; the voice 

 of little Johannes calls above the whining of the 

 dogs; and as I bid adieu to my neighbours the 

 Eskimos I pass on to my reader the noble old 

 greeting that I heard so often 



" AKSUNAI."
