When 1 ratumed aboard
th’ achoouar from my first
trip ashora. up I d th’ Arctic
ice-flelda, and told th* skip­
per about th’ maslodon I
had seen frozen in th’ ice,
he was bound to go ashore
to see It. So, next mornin’«
we struck out over th’ ice
and snow. To save time, I
took a short cut, which
brought uh to th’ cava where
th* polar bear had chased
ma th’ day before.
Th’ skipper said ha was
goin’ Into th’ cave to nee if
th’ bear was Mill there. I
told him he’d likely get in­
to trouble, but in he went.
Nothin’ happen' d for a lit­
tle while, and I was just
thlnkin* t h a t e v e ry th in g
was o. k., when zam! bang I
whang! var - r • r -1, and
out of th' cava shot th’ skip­
per, some of th' hind part
of his pnnta gone and yellin'
lik e a Liverpool packet rat
in a mutiny. And right aft­
er him was that big bear,
lookin’ nicaner'n a Nova
Scotia bucko-mate.
I whanged away at th’
bear, missed, and knocked
th’ skipper's cap off. Th’
skipper readied a high Ice-
cake before th' bear, and
wus pullin' his feet up sv.ny
from th’ old boy’s pawrf}
when I whanged away again
and k a a c k e d Mr Bear
over.
Well s’r, when th’ skipper
slid down from th’ iceberg
he was madder'n a tom-cat
with a knot in his tail ’cause
I hud splattered his best
cap full of holes when 1
took th’ first shot at th’
bear. After we’d had a look
at th' mastodon wa went
back ulxiard th’ schooner In
th* fo’c’stle all hands roared
when I told them how I’d
pennered th’ skipper's cap
i ’ll bat he'd have triced ma
up by th’ thumbs if ha’d
heard ma tailin’ about it
