The Challenge (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from The Challenge

The people sent in search of them passed without adventure and in safety through, the mouth of the runway and out to the open water beyond. But the two boats with their load of human freight that had gone before them had, in the same distance, in some occult way, vanished completely. Only, the next day, just within the heads on the northern Side, they found two bodies traveling round and round and Spinning upon the Shoals like fish at play; and so, without much thought, they divined the fate that had come to all the rest.

Excerpt from The Challenge

Because they are benighted and still believe in ghosts, the Alaskan natives never pass by night through the long arm of Ltua Bay that is its sole connection with the sea. And because in that far northern place for half the year the time is mostly night, until the Russians came the bay lacked much of its full share of human use and occupancy.

The Russians, perhaps, were as superstitious as the brown men they found in the new place, but the feeling moved them in a different way.
