We'll have to get back among the hummocks to find a drift for the _igloo_.

Our old _igloo_, I suppose, has been washed away before this.

Anyway, it's too near the surf to be safe." "I'm afraid there's no drift, except among the big hummocks on the other side, that's big enough for an _igloo_" suggested Jimmy disconsolately, "and I think you're right about it being too near open water out there to be safe, for if the ice breaks it'll break there first." "Yes, but we may find something toward the center," agreed Bobby, as he took up the whip and turned the dogs about.

"We've got to make some kind of shelter." And so they made their way back among the pressure hummocks, and, compelling the dogs to lie down, each with a snow knife began his search for a suitable snow drift upon which to build an _igloo_.
The fury of the storm increased with every moment.

It drifted past and around them in dense and stifling clouds and at times nearly choked them.
