Here's a short story:

CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE. 

THE ESKIMO ENCAMPMENT--A MURDER AND ITS CONSEQUENCES. 

With Hans Egede, Red Rooney, and Angut as chief councillors, it may be easily understood that the punishment awarded to Kajo was not severe. He was merely condemned, in the meantime, to be taken to his own people as a prisoner, and then let go free with a rebuke. 

"But how are we to carry him there?" asked Egede. "He cannot walk, and we must not delay." 

"That's true," said Rooney; "and it will never do to burden the women's boat with him. It is too full already." 

"Did he not say that he had his kayak with him?" asked Angut. 

"He did," cried Okiok, with the sudden animation of one who has conceived an idea. "Run, Arbalik, Ippegoo, Ermigit, Norrak, and seek for the kayak." 

The youths named ran off to obey, with the alacrity of well-trained children, and in half an hour returned in triumph with the kayak on their shoulders. Meanwhile Kajo had recovered slightly, and was allowed to sit up, though his hands were still bound. 

"Now we'll try him. Launch the boat, boys," said Okiok, "and be ready to paddle." 

The young men did as they were bid, and Okiok, unloosening Kajo's bonds, asked him if he could manage his kayak. 

"O-of--c-course I can," replied the man, somewhat indignantly. 

"Come, then, embark an' do it," returned Okiok, seizing his arm, and giving it a squeeze to convince him that he was in the hands of a strong man.  (End of story)
