question: CHAPTER SEVENTEEN.

TELLS OF DESPAIR AND A WILD PURSUIT.

On discovering that Nunaga and the children were not at Moss Bay, and that there were no fresh sledge tracks in that region to tell of their whereabouts, Simek drove back to the village at a wild scamper, in a state of mind very much the reverse of jovial. His hope was that the girl might have been to some other locality, and had perhaps returned during his absence; but the first glance at Nuna put that hope to flight, for the poor woman was in a state of terrible anxiety.

Cheery little Kunelik and her mild son did their best to comfort her, but without success, for she knew well the determined character of the man who had probably carried off her children.

"Has she not come back?" demanded Simek, appearing, like an infuriated Polar bear, at the inside opening of the passage to Okiok's mansion.

"No," gasped Nuna.

Simek said no more, but backed out faster than he had come in. Ippegoo followed him.

"Run, Ippe; tell all the men to get all their sledges and dogs ready, and come here to me."

Ippegoo ran off at once, while the energetic hunter rearranged the fastenings of his own sledge and team as if for a long journey.

He was thus engaged when Okiok and Angut were seen approaching the village at an easy trot. Evidently they knew nothing of what had occurred. Simek ran out to meet them. A few words sufficed to explain. The news seemed to stun both men at first, but the after-effect on each was wonderfully different. The blood rushed to Okiok's face like a torrent. He clenched his hands and teeth, glared and stamped, and went on like one deranged--as indeed for the moment he was. Angut, on the other hand, was perfectly self-possessed and subdued, but his heaving chest, quivering nostrils, compressed lips, and frowning brows told that a volcano of emotion raged within.

question: (CNN)Australian-born actor Rod Taylor, who starred in Alfred Hitchcock's thriller, "The Birds," died this week in Los Angeles.

Taylor was 84.

He died at home Wednesday surrounded by his family and loved ones, his daughter, Felicia Taylor, said in a statement. No cause of death was given.

"My dad loved his work. Being an actor was his passion -- calling it an honorable art and something he couldn't live without," she said.

Rod Taylor appeared in dozens of films, including "The Time Machine," "The Train Robbers" and "Sunday in New York."

"There are so many incredible feelings I have for him," said Tippi Hedren, his co-star in "The Birds."

"Rod was a great pal to me ... we were very, very good friends," she said. "He was one of the most fun people I have ever met, thoughtful and classy, there was everything good in that man."

Taylor was born in Sydney -- the only child of a steel contractor father and a writer mother. He attended a fine arts college and a theater school in his hometown before heading to Hollywood in the 1950s.

Once there, his star kept rising with various high-profile roles in movies such as "The Train Robbers" and "The Catered Affair." In his final role, he played Winston Churchill in the 2009 movie, "Inglourious Basterds," with Brad Pitt.

Taylor is survived by his wife of more than three decades, Carol, and his daughter, Felicia, a former CNN News correspondent.
