 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 fight ing girls.
 Now Missing Fingers sought re- venge and also slave girl. He had become an expert bowman and his great bow could drive a heavy ar row with force nearly equal to that of the mighty Nacolus.
 And now, as they reached the slopes of the Great White Noun tain, a violent snow storm came on, and the boWnen sought shelter under lodges 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, we'll it was, for suddenly 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 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, m aking formidable weapon. Nackolus counted a full score in the near ranks and many more lurking around the distant piles of snow.

Episode W

For many days Chief Nackolus led the natives in taking care of the wrapped dead. Each corpse or wrapping now had it's 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 deep 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 war 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.
 Um's clothing had been made from the skins of the sea parrots, which were shared 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 travelling difficult even when partially covered with snow. They dared not travel along the beaches nor when the sky was
