Aba, and their children. His skill keeps the village supplied with food, he is the respected leader of his tribe, and benefactor of the unfortunate. A stranger arrives in the village bearing a gun, which he relates was given to him for furs by the captain of a whaling ship that the natives call “The House That Swims”. Mala resolves to visit the ship. He and his family trek over the icelands, bearing rich furs, and meet the white captain. The latter cheats Mala frightful ly. In addition he gets Aba drunk and attacks her. Mala is angered, but others tell him the white cap tain can do no wrong. So he accepts the job of harpooning whales for the captain, on the latter’s promise to molest Aba no more. While Mala is away with the whal ers, the white captain again gets Aba drunk. Staggering in the snow, she falls. One of the sailors, out hunting seal, mistakes her fur-clad form for a seal and shoots her. Mala, returning, learns of his wife's death. Blaming the white captain, he kills the man with a harpoon, and returns to his village. Later he finds happiness with two new wives, one of them, Eva, loves him deeply, as he loves her. Meanwhile Sergeant Hunt of the Mounted Police learns of the mur der, and with a companion, Balk, starts across the ice to capture Mala. They are lost in a blizzard and al most frozen.
