Finally the Snowland was reached, and the Eskimos were wild with joy when they caught sight of the ship, for they all loved AH-NI-GHI´-TO’S father, and knew he had brought them many useful presents. All wanted to see AH-NI-GHI´-TO, and the women were particularly anxious to see how much she had grown, and if she still looked so white. One woman brought her baby, a wee boy, whose birthday was the same as AH-NI-GHI´-TO’S, to compare the children. When she saw how much larger AH-NI-GHI´-TO was than her boy, she smilingly stepped up beside AH-NI-GHI´-TO’S mother and showed how much taller the American woman was than she, and pointing to AH-NI-GHI´-TO’S tall father, said: “It is no wonder the Snow Baby is so tall.” Another boat-load of Eskimos just then came aboard, and who should be among them but “Billy-Bah”? How glad she was to see AH-NI-GHI´-TO, and how much she had to tell her. She did not want to stay on deck where the others were, but asked if she might go down in the cabin with AH-NI-GHI´-TO. Once away from her people “Billy-Bah” talked English with AH-NI-GHI´-TO, about the people she had known at AH-NI-GHI´-TO’S home; she asked how Hector the big St. Bernard dog was, and if AH-NI-GHI´-TO still had the little kitty “Billy-Bah” used to take to bed every night. Then they played with the dolls and looked at the picture books together. “Billy-Bah” gave AH-NI-GHI´-TO a number of ivory figures of men, women, dogs, bears, walrus, and seals, which she had carved from the teeth of walrus. [Illustration] AH-NI-GHI´-TO’S father now had several barrels of ship’s biscuit taken ashore, to be distributed among the natives. Everyone on board was anxious to get ashore, that he might get his share. “Billy-Bah” had been told that AH-NI-GHI´-TO would give her biscuit and tea and sugar, so she was content to remain in the cabin. Only one man refused to go, when he was told if he did not go he would not get any biscuit. Upon talking with him it was learned that he was “Billy-Bah’s” husband, and he was afraid the ship might sail away with his wife and without him, if he went ashore. AH-NI-GHI´-TO’S father assured him this would not be the case, and he speedily followed the others in the boats. “Billy-Bah’s” husband was very proud of his wife, for besides having travelled to the white man’s country and seen wonderful things, she was one of the best seamstresses in the tribe, and kept her husband’s clothing, as well as her own, in good order, though she was now only fifteen years old. But AH-NI-GHI´-TO was sorry to see that she kept herself just as dirty as her companions. It seemed as though she thought she had bathed enough, while in AH-NI-GHI´-TO’S home, to last her during her lifetime.
