“In truth,” spoke up Batter as he flew to a limb over Manabush so as to 
be heard more easily without talking loud enough to be heard by any one 
else, “this monster’s heart is in his little toe. Aim for that next time you go 
to battle with him and you will succeed.” 
The morning of the third day Manabush again’ gave the warwhoop. Im- 
mediately King Sealion came out with his full equipment for battle. The 
fight was on. Manabush aimed for the little toe of his adversary. The ar- 
row struck squarely and penetrated the vital regions. King Sealion keeled 
over and died there and then, seeing him fall, Manabush ran to him, took 
out his big knife and scalped him. He then sailed across the surf to where 
he had left his grandmother, singing his song of victory as he went, as 
the Indians have since sung when returning from a battle field. 
When his grandmother heard him coming singing the victory song, she 
started out to meet him in her canoe. Meeting him, she took the sealp 
and went on ahead of him to shore. Landing, she called the village neigh- 
bors and all commenced to have the war dance around the scalp in the 
middle of the dance hall, as it has since been the custom of the Indians to 
dance the war dance down through the ages. Thus they danced till they had 
completed the orgie, after which they smoked the pipe of peace. 
This dance lasted four days. Then Manabush bade his grandmother good- 
bye and started west over the earth in quest of other “hurtful” beasts. 
After four days of journeying he met four wolves, one of which was a 
chief. These accompanied him for four days in his passing westward. As 
he thus journeyed with them, he noticed every evening when they camped 
for the night that they would pile sticks in a heap and King Wolf would 
jump over the pile four times, after which the wood would catch fire with- 
out the aid of a fire-starter. By watching them, he also learned the art. 
On they traveled. As they thus journeyed, young wolves foliowed along 
behind and chased down the moose and deer and killed them as needed. 
Then they would dress and cook some and all would eat to their satisfaction. 
So all had a pleasurable time. 
After journeying four days with the wolf pack, he chose for his compan- 
ion one of the young wolves whom he called his nephew. Leaving the rest 
behind, he then traveled on in his western travels. The evening of the first 
day after they had parted company with the other wolves they came 
upon the track of a moose which it was decided his nephew should chase 
on the following morning. That night Manabush had an unfavorable dream. 
The next morning as a consequence of the forboding evil foreshadowed in it, 
he cautioned his comrade to he careful. “The dream was about chasing this 
moose,” he said. “It was a bad dream about you in this chase.” He con- 
tinued: “In chasing this moose you are to track, whenever you come to 
a little stream always cut a tree down and walk across it. Don't jump 
over the stream. Be careful.” 
As per arrangement. the nephew started out on the chase, Manabush fol- 
lowing his tracks. Soon he came to a little stream over which he fell a tree 
as he had been instructed. He then crossed it safely. After a while he 
came to another very small stream which he thought he would jump, as it
