William and Maymie Kimes Annotation

After a long and diligent search through miles of beautiful but menacing icebergs, Muir and his Indian companions come in sight of the ""grand glacier, converging from right and left from a fountain set far in the silent fastness of the Alaskan Alps. 'There is your lost friend,' said the Indians laughing .... And while berg after berg was being born with thundering uproar, they said, 'Your friend has klosh tumtum (good heart) hear! He is firing his big guns in your honor.""'
