Describes a most Amazing Surprise, and treats of Hans Egede.
When the starving missionary1 had taken the edge off his appetite, he closed the clasp-knife with which he had been eating.
“Now, my friend,” he said, looking at Rooney, “I have eaten quite enough to do me good in my present condition,—perhaps more than enough. You know it is not safe for starving men to eat heartily3. Besides, I am anxious to give some food to the poor fellows who are with me. One of them has met with a severe accident and is dying I fear. He does not belong to my party, I found him on the mainland and brought him here just before the storm burst on us, intending to take him on to Godhaab. He stands more in need of food than sleep, I think.”
“Come, then, we will go to him at once,” said Rooney, tying up the remains4 of Egede’s breakfast. “How did he come by his accident?” continued the sailor, as the party walked up towards the bushes.
“The girl who takes care of him—his daughter, I think—says he was injured by a bear.”
“If it is a case of broken bones, perhaps I may be of use to him,” said Rooney, “for I’ve had some experience in that way.”
Egede shook his head, “I fear it is too late,” he replied. “Besides, his mind seems to give him more trouble even than his wasted frame. He has come, he says, from the far north, and would certainly have perished after his accident if it had not been for the care and kindness of the women who are with him—especially the younger woman. See, there she comes. Her father must have awakened5, for she rests near him at night and never leaves him in the morning till he wakes up.”
The missionary was startled at that moment by a loud shout from his companion. Next instant Angut rushed past him, and, catching6 the girl in his arms, gave her a most fervent7 and lover-like embrace, to which she seemed in no ways
