I ordered him to be brought up, and presently he came, a little, wizened, talkative old man, with a waistcloth round his middle, and a greasy, frayed kaross made of the skins of rock rabbits over his shoulders.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
