twenty feet wide separated it from the igoo, or
hut containing the girl, but there was a narrow
bridge of ice left across the crevasse, and this

Esquimaus sleep in bags. The lover decided

and then break down the bridge, that he and

molested.
He planned very successfully. He crept in

snatched up the maiden in her sack without
awaking any one; he bore her over the ice
bridge safely. and then he opened the sack to
