HUSKIE AN OLD FRIEND 
37 
“Hello! hello!” in perfectly good English. 
“How are you!” exclaimed Stormy, over¬ 
joyed to meet an old friend. It was none other 
than Huskie, the Malamute dog, whom he had 
known in Alaska some years before. Huskie 
seemed to be grinning from ear to ear. But the 
Penguin folks, not understanding what had been 
said, were as solemn as owls. And very soon 
the Emperor began his long speech, of which 
Huskie understood very little, but to which he 
listened very attentively out of respect, no 
doubt, for the customs of the country. When 
this ceremony was finished, the company broke 
up into little groups and Stormy edged his way 
over toward Huskie. He was sure now that 
this was Alaska, for if it were not how could 
Huskie get here since he could not fly? There 
were many, many questions he wanted to ask 
Huskie about his strange adventures.
