Eva Padlyat lived in an Inuit village on Ungava Vat in northern
Canada. In winter, when people wanted mussels to eat, they searched
along the bottom of the seabed. Eva had often walked on the bottom,
helping her mother, but today - for the very first time - she was
to go down below the thick sea ice herself. Her mother went with
her to the shore and out onto the ice. The time was just right. The
outgoing tide had pulled the seawater away, leaving only the ice
above and the rock-strewn seabed below.
Eva lowered herself through a hole in the ice and, by candlelight,
had soon gathered a pan full of mussels. There was still time to
explore, she decided. But she stumbled and her candle went out. She
was alone in the darkness, and the tide had turned. When, at the
end of her adventure, she is safe with her mother again on top of
the ice, she says, "that was my very last first time for walking
alone on the bottom of the sea."
