But the missionary was a bother after all, for he brought no meat into the camp,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and he ate heartily, and the hunters grumbled. But he chilled his lungs on the divide by the Mayo, and the dogs afterwards nosed the stones away and fought over his bones.
Koskoosh placed another stick on the fire and harked back deeper into the past. There was the time of the Great Famine, when the old men crouched empty-bellied to the fire,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and from their lips fell dim traditions of the ancient day when the Yukon ran wide open for three winters, and then lay frozen for three summers. He had lost his mother in that famine. In the summer the salmon run had failed,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the tribe looked forward to the winter and the coming of the caribou. Then the winter came,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but with it were no caribou. Never had the like been known,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], not even in the lives of the old men. But the caribou did not come, and it was the seventh year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the rabbits had not replenished, and the dogs were naught but bundles of bones. And through the long darkness the children wailed and died, and the women,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the old men; and not one in ten of the tribe lived to meet the sun when it came back in the spring. That was a famine!
But he had seen times of plenty,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], too, when the meat spoiled on their hands, and the dogs were fat and worthless with overeating��times when they let the game go unkilled,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the women were fertile, and the lodges were cluttered with sprawling men-children and women-children.
