"Sounds more like a half-breed to me!" Tommy answered.
"He's stopped coming on, anyway." Sandy exclaimed in a moment.

The boys both left the fire and darted out into the darkness,
listening for the call but hearing only the roaring of the wind.
CHAPTER VI
THE CAVE OP THE TWO BEARS
"Bears?" exclaimed George, as the lads listened in front of the
cave, "do you think there are polar bears up here? I think it's
cold enough for the big white variety."
"Put your head inside the cave," Thede suggested, "and you won't be

"What kind of bears are they?" he asked.
"I've heard Pierre say there were black and brown bears," replied
Thede. "You know I haven't been in here only a few days."
"I wonder if they'll bite."

"I don't believe they'll jump on us if we keep our light going,"
George argued. "Anyway," he went on, "we've got to get somewhere
out of this wind and snow.
