Description: Mala is a member of an unspecified Eskimo tribe living in Alaska. He has a wife, Aba, and an infant son. Mala learns of white traders at nearby Tjaranak Inlet from another Eskimo. He and the Eskimos go bowhead whale hunting in wooden boats and with harpoons provided by the white men. After the successful hunt, two drunken white men kidnap Aba and force her to get drunk. The Captain's Mate, hunting seals with a rifle, mistakes Aba (passed out on the ice) for an animal and kills her.
