Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Karana observes the Aleuts’ camp, which is in the same location they used the last time they came to the island. She worries that the Aleut girl might notice her tracks by the spring, but decides to stay in the ravine because the spot is close to fresh water and her hidden canoe. Karana and Rontu only leave the emergency shelter in the ravine to gather food and water. She is thankful that the Aleuts did not bring their dogs, which would likely find them, but the tension and tedium of hiding make the days long. To pass the time, Karana fashions cormorant skins into a skirt. When she examines her handiwork in the sun, she is “giddy with happiness” at the sight of the black, green, and gold feathers, which “shimmered as though they were on fire” (131).
