(126) Drawing a deep breath—relieved.
(127) Repeated No. 86 very emphatically—paddling with increased courage and vigor.
(128) Gazed and pointed northeastward, shading the eyes with the hand, at the same time pushing the left—bent downward at wrist, palm backward—forward in that direction, arm fully extended, fingers separated and pointing ahead at termination of motion—out there at a great distance.
(129) Made a lateral movement with the hand flat and extended over the field of ice in front of him—the ice-field.
(130) Described a series of waves with the flat and extended left, back upward, horizontally outward—sea getting turbulent.
(131) Joyously flourished the hand above head, while pronouncing the word ke-ya-bi—only yet.
(132) Pointed the finger toward the upturned root of a tree a few yards off, thence carrying it forward directed it toward the shore in front—a few yards from shore.
(133) Pointing toward the sun first, he placed palms of both hands in opposition vertically, a space of only an inch or two intervening, with a glance sideways at the height thus indicated—the sun just setting.
(134) Made three vigorous strokes with the imaginary paddle—three more paddle-strokes.
(135) Moved both hands (flat and extended, backs upward) evenly and horizontally toward the left, terminating the movement by turning hands almost perpendicularly upward at wrist, thus arresting them suddenly—the ice-raft runs up against the shore.
