There was a moment of uncertain silence; then Kit cried,-- "Hollo! What was that ?" "Don't be scared," I said.

"It's another walrus, I guess.

Keep still; but get your guns ready." "Another walrus, did you say ?" muttered Raed, coming to look out.
"I think it's one come up to smell round the carcass of the one we've killed." "So it is!" exclaimed Raed.

"Like as not, it's this one's mate.

What a hideous noise!" for the huge creature was giving vent to the most terrific snortings and snufflings.
We could hear it butt its head against the carcass.
"It has come round here hunting for its mate," said Kit.
