I
did
n't
get
it
,
"
said
Kotick
.
"
It
grew
.
"
And
just
as
he
was
going
to
roll
the
speaker
over
,
a
couple
of
black-haired
men
with
flat
red
faces
came
from
behind
a
sand
dune
,
and
Kotick
,
who
had
never
seen
a
man
before
,
coughed
and
lowered
his
head
.
The
holluschickie
just
bundled
off
a
few
yards
and
sat
staring
stupidly
.
The
men
were
no
less
than
Kerick
Booterin
,
the
chief
of
the
seal-hunters
on
the
island
,
and
Patalamon
,
his
son
.
They
came
from
the
little
village
not
half
a
mile
from
the
sea
nurseries
,
and
they
were
deciding
what
seals
they
would
drive
up
to
the
killing
pens
--
for
the
seals
were
driven
just
like
sheep
--
to
be
turned
into
seal-skin
jackets
later
on
.
"
Ho
!
"
said
Patalamon
.
"
Look
!
There
's
a
white
seal
!
"
Kerick
Booterin
turned
nearly
white
under
his
oil
and
smoke
,
for
he
was
an
Aleut
,
and
Aleuts
are
not
clean
people
.
Then
he
began
to
mutter
a
prayer
.
"
Do
n't
touch
him
,
Patalamon
.
There
has
never
been
a
white
seal
since
--
since
I
was
born
.
Perhaps
it
is
old
Zaharrof
's
ghost
.
He
was
lost
last
year
in
the
big
gale
.
"
"
I
'm
not
going
near
him
,
"
said
Patalamon
.
"
He
's
unlucky
.
Do
you
really
think
he
is
old
Zaharrof
come
back
?
I
owe
him
for
some
gulls
'
eggs
.
"
"
Do
n't
look
at
him
,
"
said
Kerick
.
"
Head
off
that
drove
of
four-year-olds
.
The
men
ought
to
skin
two
hundred
today
,
but
it
's
the
beginning
of
the
season
and
they
are
new
to
the
work
.
A
hundred
will
do
.
Quick
!
"
Patalamon
rattled
a
pair
of
seal
's
shoulder
bones
in
front
of
a
herd
of
holluschickie
and
they
stopped
dead
,
puffing
and
blowing
.
Then
he
stepped
near
and
the
seals
began
to
move
,
and
Kerick
headed
them
inland
,
and
they
never
tried
to
get
back
to
their
companions
.
Hundreds
and
hundreds
of
thousands
of
seals
watched
them
being
driven
,
but
they
went
on
playing
just
the
same
.
Kotick
was
the
only
one
who
asked
questions
,
and
none
of
his
companions
could
tell
him
anything
,
except
that
the
men
always
drove
seals
in
that
way
for
six
weeks
or
two
months
of
every
year
.
"
I
am
going
to
follow
,
"
he
said
,
and
his
eyes
nearly
popped
out
of
his
head
as
he
shuffled
along
in
the
wake
of
the
herd
.
"
The
white
seal
is
coming
after
us
,
"
cried
Patalamon
.
"
That
's
the
first
time
a
seal
has
ever
come
to
the
killing-grounds
alone
.
"
"
Hsh
!
Do
n't
look
behind
you
,
"
said
Kerick
.
"
It
is
Zaharrof
's
ghost
!
I
must
speak
to
the
priest
about
this
.
"
